Doesn't waiting mean union employees still getting paid and increasing costs in this industry?

If you don't assume that the drydock is sitting empty while the construction plans for the next ship are being thought up, while would it sit empty while you wait for supplies?

Presumably you'd get everything lined up before you finish your previous project. Hardly any construction just simply starts the day someone approaches a manufacturer anyways.
