Can that even be done? A ship has a keel, right? Once the keel has been laid (and I presume construction has gotten that far, already), can a ship be modular enough that you can just splice in another x amount of hull (and keel) to increase its displacement? The article mentioned adding length to the vessel, but I'm sure it's not as Lego-simple as that.
Dunno. Mongo only pawn ... in game of life.

I've never built a submarine but I figure there's nothing simple about it at all no matter what yer doing.
A guy who used to work for me served on the Dallas in the reactor room, he told me that the difference betwixt a hunter/killer and a boomer is that they cut the middle of the HK and splice in a bunch of missile silos to create a boomer.
prolly a little more to that too.


But like dad said in his memoirs .......
