Difference in material is less of a difference than different in power and design principle.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Uhhh.... what?
The Warrior is basically a sailing ship with an iron hull and steam propulsion. Whereas a Nimitz has absolutely nothing in common with the Victory except they float on water.
