I hope not to be laughed off the forum, but would like to ask how far away we are from the practicality of milling seafaring vessels from a solid block of metal alloy?
I read the cost of a single metric tonne of Aluminium is approximately $1500 as of January 2021, so lets say that I need a fishing vessel around 100m long, and let's just say 50mt, that's a really good deal.
But, can a single solid high grade piece of aluminium be smelted at that size, let along machinery to mill it ?
