  1. Were the USN Combustible, Vulnerable, Expendable class Escort Carriers (sometimes shortened to CVE's) Engineering Failures along with being a success? They had the "Explode" part down cold as it seems a magic bullet aircraft cannon shot could set them off. They were also built from inferior just good enough, maybe, steel that tried to use NO critical materials in there alloy and were not designed for long life. They were designed to be built fast and cheap, and that's why they were there at all, the F4F's and SBD's didn't seem to care once launched. (As an aside, Kaiser Corp (great name ) could have taught the Third Rich how to stretch rare materials and they were using steel cartridges for their machine guns by the end.)
