Yes, this is the usual way things are done. I 
wasn't intending to dissagree. I was just saying
that the Liberties were constructed without regard
to how long they'd last or how safe they were in
storms. They cut additional dangerous corners.

But hey it worked! A lot of them sunk on their first
voyage and others lasted only a few voyages, but
there was always a new ship to replace it (or 10
new ships).

In the FT venacular, one side of the conflict would
be forever destroying enemy freighters, but dang it
there would always be more of the dang things to
destroy!
