That is why it will be better to be a transmission line owner (or vertically integrated) instead of just a generation owner/operator, since everything will be going to an energy market anyway.

It isn't that tall of an order and the Navy certainly has talented and capable individuals that can execute a conversion...it has a pretty large talent pool to draw from...just because the "surface fleet" hasn't done it

I'd imagine that the lead time on getting the substation equipment is probably the longest for all of equipment inside a DC. Chillers, UPSs, generators, and breakers are probably not in as high demand or take as long to manufacture as
