Ship building regularly uses pre-assembled sections, so entire huge multi-deck segments of the whole structure are often built elsewhere in the yard and transported to the building dock or slipway and are connected into place or in floating docks, ready for launch. This so called "block construction" often divides the ship in two sections (bow and stern) these are then connected with extraordinary precision (jumboization process).
