Building a ship using 'block construction' significantly speeds up the overall construction process by allowing multiple complex operations to occur simultaneously, rather than sequentially. Instead of assembling the entire ship directly on a single location like a slipway or dry dock from individual plates and frames, the ship's design is broken down into numerous smaller, manageable sections called "blocks" or "modules." These blocks are then fabricated and largely completed in separate, specialized workshops or assembly halls. This approach enables a high degree of parallel work, meaning different teams can work on different blocks at the exact sa....
