Can't imagine anyone doing that Al
Mind you, I do know a berk who stuck such a plate on the bottom of an RN aircraft carrier in Pompey harbour and 'secured' the said with the 'T' bar arrangement installed. Three days later the carrier had to move to another berth and as the powerfull wash from the tugs swirled around the stern a big wooden thingy appeared on surface (whoops!). My boss was stood right next to me and said, "Oh well, the engineers have finished their work and at least we wont need to dive to removed it".
