History

Which operational risk increased for Byzantine Dromon warships using Greek Fire when storing naphtha near bronze rams?

A)Decreased ramming effectiveness in combat
B)Elevated fouling on oars or paddles
C)Accelerated structural fatigue within timbers
D)Elevated risk of uncontrolled deflagration

💡 Explanation

Ignition risk increases because of enhanced thermal radiation: the bronze rams conduct/reflect radiant heat onto/into the flammable naptha storage area, therefore combustion is more likely, rather than mechanical or fouling limitations.
