This is one of the things that has had me wondering for a while now.
Wouldn't there seem to be some money in constructing at least some sort of
a workable "chipbot", if not a "chip-and-paintbot", for such things? Not
necessarily on a navy vessel, but (say) cargo or cruse ships? There's be
obvious limitations given the many nooks & crannies aboard ship, but still,
I wonder what the economcs of this are.
