Now, however, I see that there is a difference between "building a ship in two halves" and what I am witnessing now going on at Daewoo: while they do build the aft half and launch it, after they put it back into the construction dock they just continue adding hull blocks, so there is no forward half waiting to be joined with her aft sister...
Frank, I will upload her side view so we can have a better look at the size of her funnel...

Here at Daewoo, the size of their "Dry dock No. 1" allows for the construction of two full-sized VLCCs side by side, plus two halves. The other dry dock has similar length, but is narrower, so it allows "one and a half" ship.
