A regular (relatively dry) aluminum beverage can weighs ~20 grams on my old, cheap recipe scale. Call it ¾-ounce, know what, just call it an ounce.
1 can = 1 oz.
16 cans = 1 pound
2000 lbs = 1 (short) ton
USS Independence LCS displacement = 2480 tons (average of 'light' & fully loaded displacement)
2480 tons = 4,960,000 lbs.
4,960,000 lbs x 16 cans to the pound = 79,360,000 regular aluminum beverage cans
79,360,000 aluminum beverage cans = 1 USS Independence
Did I do that right? It doesn't sound like enough cans...
