RW build times for ships vary wildly.
2 years is about right for a 3,500 tonne ship
5 years is about right for a 80,000 tonne ship

Divide by at least 2 in times of emergency/hot war.

Try SQRT(mass) x 10 weeks.

eg Mass 36 ship - 60 weeks (just over 1 year)
Mass 256 ship - 160 weeks (just over 3 years)
