 i'd agree, but it's nice to have the option of having the option of 
 dumping cargo, if you catch my drift.

I wonder what a feather could do to a fighter?

 oh, they will. why would warships have any free space? that would be
 inefficient design. they are packed solid with power plants, drives,

 sailor gets on a current warship (on an rn destroyer, it's basically a
 bunk in a cupboard).

limited
space is.
