The Liberty ships built quickly in WWII used similar specified steel early in the war. Low carbon, not well controlled chemistry. Many literally cracked in half during North Atlantic crossings due to the water and air temps crossing the brittle transition temperature of the material.
Steel chemistry advanced quite a lot during this timeframe.
