Yes, because you can always repair on slips...

Now, if it's possible to dismantle a drydock, and transport it, Latvia would be very interested in buying a Type 1....

My earlier musings on this subject remain in play, however; I don't see a whole lot to reclaim from scrapping a dock. It's mostly a big hole, and the specialized equipment isn't easy to repurpose or reclaim. Same for a slip, except minus the big hole.

Though, at least in theory, such a facility could be "sold to a civilian firm" in exchange for the in-game currency of IP. Which would, in turn, permit the purchase or expansion of another yard someplace else.

"Scrapping" is probably the wrong idea, you're not really scrapping it as much as you're selling it to the civilian economy for use in shipbuilding or repair. After all, a new slip or dock might just as well be an existing slip or dock purchased by the government as one that's newly built from the ground up (or down, as the case may be).

That brings up my other point of it being impractical to sell a slip or two from a major base installation to a civilian concern, assuming there's one ready and willing to pony out the cash for it.
