Do ship's antifouling paint coats crack ?

Question:
We had applied antifouling paint on our ship ( steel hull ) and launched it. The ship was tied up alongside for completing other jobs.After three months we had to dock the ship for some other purpose. We noticed that there were cracks on our antifouling paint coat . It does not look like leaching . What is this phenomenon of cracking ? why does it happen ?

Answers:

Any paint can crack, and antifouling paint is no exception. The only thing special about antifouling paint is that it contains copper to discourage barnacles and other sea creatures from hanging on to it.
