The idea of building a ship in a day - even a small one - has been poking at me
for the last few days.  There are just too many tasks to be completed to fit
them into a day,  So I thought about the Liberty ships of WWII.  There were a
lot of yards building these things, and even though they got it down to about 40
days start to finish, they could say they were completing 3 a day.

So maybe the one-day represented how often one was finished, not how long it
took to build one.
