Ridiculous Ship Makeovers That Shouldn't Have Worked (But Did)

We've explored a lot of ship makeovers on this channel but none perhaps so ridiculous as these lot! There emerged a bit of an unexpected theme to this one - ships that were cut in half and stitched back together and ships that shouldn't have been aircraft carriers but became them anyway! We'll take a look at the unique paddlewheel aircraft carrier USS Wolverine, formerly the SS Seeandbee, the White Star Line's franken-ship SS Suevic, battlecruisers-turned-carriers HMS Glorious & HMS Courageous and the ridiculous Royal Navy abomination HMS Zubian.
