Default Karachi shipyards

Ever seen those Pakistani guys dismantle a scrapped supertanker ?

They do it mostly by hand tools-in months the whole hull is gone - incredible.

Yeah ,these guys make any firearm in the soviet army inventory too-by hand .Probably some of the metal in those ships end up as guns in the tribal areas.

I am sure you could get stuff done by hand and the willingnss to accept horrible safety for the work force

I am thinking forges and blacksmiths will see a steady increase...
