Which outcome accelerated hull degradation on composite ships during the 18th century?

💡 Explanation

When ships combined copper sheathing with iron fastenings, dissimilar metal corrosion occured because of electrochemical reactions, rapidly degrading the iron. Therefore accelerated corrosion resulted rather than stress fractures, fungal rot, or worm infestation, each of which operates through different mechanisms.
