We have talked about it, I know there are very few people that even build the ships, much less fix them up, so, is there a way to kind of grab out all the middle of it, of the old ship and put in new and have a--kind of a new ship out of an old hull? Is that possible?
Webster asks about the feasibility of refurbishing old ships.

The House passed an authorization bill earlier this year that begins to appropriately resource the Coast Guard.
Congress must do better. The Commandant has said that the Coast Guard needs to be a $20 billion service by 2030, and I believe that should be the minimum.
Given these immense resources, it should come as no surprise that adversaries, including Russia and China, are working to assert themselves in the region.
To date, we have yet to see such a plan, let alone a cost estimate or a timeline of the first vessel in the fleet.
