I'm looking for some help/advice from the members with knowledge of naval matters.
If an eccentric billionaire wanted a replica of the British fast battleship HMS Vanguard built, in 1991, to the dimensions and capabilities as when the original Vanguard was launched in 1944, roughly how long would it take and how much would it cost?
Would there be any parts/equipment which would be particularly difficult (due to changes in warship construction) to have made?
If the billionaire already has an appropriate number of well-maintained 15 inch naval guns (bought from some historically scrapped battleship), would that help cut time off the construction process?
And finally, would it be possible (in terms of capacity) for it to be done in a British shipyard in 1991, or would said billionaire have to go overseas?
