“But you've got a number of former nuclear submarine sailors here”, said Mandil. “Can't they help keep things on the track? At least they should know what you're talking about.”
“Sure. If we lead properly, they'll follow. But they won't initiate basic changes to the whole system. You can't expect them to. That's where I need help from you guys. You know as well as I do that Rick didn't create all the procedures and systems and hardware by himself. We did it, and we did it in our own image, to a great extent. What he did was to create the environment in which the stuff we did was possible. More than that, he made what we did inevitable. First, by hiring the kind of people he did, by how he trained them, and by setting standards. Then what we all created was a natural consequence. We've got to figure out how to do that here. Then these guys will do their part.”

In a similar vein, it would have been almost impossible to get any shipyard up to that level if we had had to do it entirely within the yard. But the land prototype in Idaho offered an almost monastic ambiance where the extraordinary could be established, away from the peer pressure of the normal shipyard operations, and then transplanted once it had taken root.
