A domestically built warship

With blueprints in hand, the construction process can commence. This typically takes place in a shipyard, where large sections of the warship are built in dry docks or dedicated assembly areas. Steelworkers, welders, and fabricators work together to construct the hull, ensuring that it adheres to the specified design parameters and safety standards. The hull is the backbone of the ship, providing not only structural integrity but also buoyancy and an effective platform for weapon systems and other equipment.
