[QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [QB] A couple weeks for a Defiant sounds utterly impossible, IMHO. That's like saying we can build a 4/5 story high building, about 170/120m long, and put all the highly advanced equipment like computer cores, warp cores, replicators, and endless wires in within a month. It's utterly impossible. Now, take today's modern US Nimitz Class Carrier. Approximatly twice the length of the Defiant, it takes 4 years from the keel being layed to the ship being released from drydock. It then takes another year or two to complete all the details for her final commissioning. And with the most recent Nimitzes (sp?), like USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75 (commissioned June 1998), they actually built the ship in massive modules. Each module was prebuilt elsewhere and then attached to the existing hull, and so on. Now, if you ask me, it takes at least 2 years to build a Defiant, and even then, it would take longer if it were from scratch. As for construction yards works being high on morale, I doubt if that is possible during war time. The workers would be living in fear, because yards are prime targets, and they would be overworked to get ships out into the fleets, causing stress. [/QB][/QUOTE]
