How are ships constructed?
Construction starts with bending plates to match the curve of the ship's hull. Once the hull pieces are shaped, framed, and ready, they are assembled. This is a fascinating process where massive pieces of metal are brought together to form a complete ship. The construction is done in segments called sub-assemblies.Oct 1, 2020
