Steel begins as an idea before it becomes a vessel. It is first drawn on paper, reduced to lines, tolerances, calculations, and compromises. Only later does it take shape under the weight of urgency, noise, and human hands. In the spring of 1943, at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, that transformation was already well underway.
