[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] I don't know how long it takes to build a starship, but here's some information about Liberty Ships. During World War II, 18 shipyards around the country delivered a total of 2,700 of the ships from 1941 to 1945. Each ship had 30,000 components and displaced about 10,000 tons. This is from [URL=http://www.liberty-ship.com:]www.liberty-ship.com:[/URL] Once the production lines got under way, the time taken to build a Liberty at Fairfield Shipyard dropped to as little as 28 days. On the average, it took 592,000 man-hours to build a Liberty Ship. The construction of one Liberty ship required 3,425 tons of hull steel, 2,725 tons of plate, and 700 tons of shapes, which included 50,000 castings. The Kaiser shipyard in Oakland, California, built the SS ROBERT E PEARY, from keel laying to launching, in 4 days 15 hours and 30 minutes. The PEARY was then outfitted, painted, taken on sea trials, the crew was trained and the vessel fully loaded with 10,000 tons of cargo. The PEARY sailed 7 days after the keel was laid. [/QB][/QUOTE]
