Has anyone had a go at building a modular ship. Similar to the RC clippers but where every section is a seperate module?
I know such a ship would not be able to compete with a standard built vessel due to the increased mass and volume consumed by the modules, but in a post virus setting I believe that being able to swap out a damaged module and swap in a replacement would minimise port turn around times.
Also great for refit work.
Antoher question was the Huntner Gratsner (how was that spelt) a civilian version of an RC clipper? It did seem to have a spine with modules attached.
