Mind you I suppose being in possession of such bountiful intellect, corporate wisdom, and a gong from the empire means that you can impose your will over such tawdry things like reality or even the passage of sun, wind, and tide. I guess I will go check on the progress of my levitating potted plant.
Building any ship in blocks and moving to an erection site is an inefficient and expensive way of building ships which is why nobody does it unless forced to. Especially as the places you intend to build the blocks have zero experience in building complex warships.
As for BMT, they can promise whatever they want, their ship is a couple of CGI, a water tank model, and a pile of paper(s). It can do anything and everything. Fire phasers and fly to the moon.
Thanks for the complements tho. I assume my gong is in the mail.
Particularly when you deliberately exclude the closest Yards to your assembly site or generate a shipyard from nothing in the back yard of the chancellor of exchequeor and run down an existing yard with most of the facilities already existing? And then close down that yard and dismantle the facilities when the carriers are completed!
I wonder how much expense there has been transporting modules from Portsmouth and Appledore to govan and from Portsmouth, Apple dore and Goban to rosyth. How much delay due to weather conditions transporting modules round the north of Scotland? Or phasing of moves and work to eliminate the risk of moving modules in Winter? I do wonder what would have happened had one of the Modules been lost in transit?
