CONT

Face aux besoins accrus de production et à la volonté de diminuer les coûts,[la] méthode [traditionnelle] est progressivement remplacée par l'assemblage de blocs à l'aide de la soudure. Plutôt que d'assembler les navires pièce par pièce sur la cale de lancement, des blocs sont préfabriqués en atelier, puis assemblés sur la cale.
