    Three things:
    1. Made in China has nearly the same connotation that Made In Japan did 60 years ago. (See "You're older than dirt...")
    2. Modular construction like that is the same method used by Bath Iron Works to build the Arleigh Burke class destroyers and most all ship building now for that matter. They don't come off the ways as fast as the Victory ships did but its a lot faster than the Belknap DLGs.
    3. Maybe the building went up that fast but how long beforehand were they building all those pre-fab platforms?

    And just one PS: I think I'll wait for the second or third generation to come along IF the first one is still standing before I'd move in.
