En avril 1986, la proposition du programme comprenait une campagne d'essais sur réservoir de banc, dits essais «Battleship» (BS). Pour optimiser les objectifs de la campagne et pour ne pas construire un nouveau banc d'essai, il a été décidé de réaliser BS sur ELA-3 avec une version réduite «lourde» de l'étage. La société Aérospatiale, responsable de l'EPC, a été chargée d'en réaliser aussi la version BS.

DEF

A extra-thick type of linoleum.

CONT

Patented in England in 1960, linoleum was manufactured by American floor companies and quickly became a favorite for kitchen and bathroom floors. It was so durable that it was used on US Naval battleships and was popularly dubbed Battleship Linoleum. This popularity continued until the 1960's when more popular petroleum based products became prevalent in building.

CONT

From the 1870s to the 1960s ... linoleum was the most widespread manufactured floor covering in existence ... It even surfaced on the high seas where the navies of Great Britain, Germany, and the United States found it to be an excellent non-slip, non-splintering, water-proof deck covering. Its thickness earned it the name "Battleship Linoleum," and its plain-colored versions of "battleship" grey and brown appeared everywhere, especially in post-offices and other government buildings.
