However, adopting a process as such makes it possible to maintain the domestic shipbuilding potential - and this is very important, as the newly acquired vessels will need to go through over- hauls and upgrades from time to time. Secondly, this method also allows enterprises, such as the War Shipyard, to acquire invaluable experience and new manufacturing capacity.

Last, but not least, becoming a part of a cooper- ative network also makes it possible to expand the export of- fer. All of the above means that it is quite difficult to consider the Navy shipbuilding concepts, without taking the industry into account, especially the highly specialized facilities, such as the „Stocznia Wojenna".
