Re: dockyards

Hello Listmembers,
  Just a reminder, dockyard servicing units, should be capable of being
mobile.  During World War II, there were ships that were repair ships -
capable of fabricating their own sheet metal (or so I have been told by
a
veteran), machining their own parts, and with loads of specialists
capable
of putting a battle damaged ship back into operation with a minimum of
time required.	I guess the rational for having such repair ships was
due
to the fact that sending ships back from the Pacific theater to San
Fransisco and/or Hawaii was too time consuming.
