Another complication is... well, I've been looking into the whalers taken by USS Essex and in the 200- to 300-ton weight class they come in just too small for Ares to sculpt with the hard 28-meter minimum deck-length. (A very large and historically significant class looks like it JUST misses by HALF a meter... which is half a millimeter in manufacturing terms.)
