Why Copper-Nickel Alloy Materials so important in shipbuilding?

Copper-nickel (also known as cupronickel) alloys are widely used for marine applications due to their excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, low macrofouling rates, and good fabricability.

90-10 copper-nickel (C70600, CW352H), an alloy with 90% copper and 10% nickel,
Alloys with 30% nickel content (C71500, C71640) and those which are more highly alloyed with aluminum, chromium or tin.
