Yep, Nelson & Aggy were about 1000 tons heavier... Have you checked out the
discussion boards at www.warships1.com? They're well worth a look if you're in
to ships, especially the battleship one...

Limpets are usually applied to another ship or vehicle surreptitiously. The
only place you might find them being applied would be by swimmers or small
boats in fleet anchorages. Now what's the closest corralary in FT? Ships in
orbit (either planetary or deep space LaGrange Point achorages. here the
limpets might be emplaced. In a scenario or campaing as ship s in orbit try to
power up and get underway some will find they have been limpet attacked and
will take damage as they try to become mobile. My two pfennig's worth.
