>>1152547Maybe half a year, if you had a full mobilization of resources trying to get her running. Say, towing her down to Newport News for drydocking. Getting her hill cleaned, inspected, repaired. Finding a main engine and getting it to Newport, opening the hull, removing the old equipment, preparing the engine room and installing the new. Rebuilding the hull. Running electronics and control. Making propellers. Floating her, testing her. And this is assuming they do nothing with the interior except slap bunk beds in there.
For just a commercial operation, what the anon above me said. Would be years of shipyard work.
Bottom line, why would you press the USSUS into transport service when there are tens of pic related up and down the coast ready to go, just needing the military to comandeered them?
