← HistoryWhich consequence results when Greek Fire deployment exceeded its design limitations?
A)Catastrophic propellant overheating occurred✓
B)Crew were rendered highly accurate shots
C)Greater aiming ranges consistently obtained
D)Projectile effectiveness substantially amplied
💡 Explanation
If Greek Fire propellant capacity beyond safe thermal limits was attempted, catastrophic propellant overheating resulted as positive thermal-runaway feedback began raising local temperature further because external cooling to remove the transferred heat became unable maintain effective cooling, resulting in a meltdown, rather than other optimal conditions.
