What did the Royal Navy learn from The Falklands?
One of the biggest lessons learned was the use of aluminium aboard RN ships. At the time of the Falklands conflict, most interior ladders (stairs) were constructed of aluminium. The aluminium had a relatively low flash point and caught fire more readily than steel. The RN has, I believe ceased or at least minimized the use of aluminium aboard her ships and ladders are now constructed of steel.
