Port Alpha's robotic shipyard compared with the Kaiser yards

Is Harland and Wolff the closest historical equivalent to the proposed Port Alpha shipyard?

It is a massive automation-led response to labor shortages, and the purpose-built Kaiser yards are a closer historical analogy than Harland and Wolff.

The proposed Port Alpha yard would combine a very large site with extensive robotics and minimal staffing. That approach is intended partly to address shortages of skilled workers and the limited pipeline of replacements. The wartime Kaiser yards provide the preferred historical comparison because they were purpose-built on a vast scale to produce Liberty and Victory ships. Harland and Wolff is considered a less useful parallel. The common problem is how to achieve large-scale output when labour is scarce, even though the methods of production differ.
