Not quite, sir. It's more that we would work together. For example, the government produces a technical statement of requirements and operational requirements. We work together on refining those into a detailed specification.
However, once we complete the concept and basic design and the customer is happy, we do a final design review. If they give us a thumbs-up and say, “You got it; take it from there”, that's the point at which they should turn it over to the shipyard and say, “Now we're going to monitor your performance. Get on with delivering.”
