Electronic equipment can come from suppliers scattered across a country, creating some of the longest supply routes into a shipyard. Those systems can also lend themselves to cooperation between countries more readily than complete ships. A nation may accept internationally produced equipment throughout a vessel while insisting that the ship be assembled domestically and retain a recognisably national design. National pride can therefore shape the organisation of shipbuilding even where the underlying technology is shared.
