Despite being sister ships, Zulu and Nubian had (due to minor differences in construction) ended up 3.5 inches different in beam, making it somewhat complicated to fit the two partial hulls together.

** The Soviet Navy destroyer ''Storozhevoy'', originally a Project 7U design (known as the ''Storozhevoy''-class [[ReportingNames in the West]]), had her bow blown off by a German torpedo boat. She managed to make it back to the besieged Leningrad without sinking. There a new bow and bridge from a Project 30 (''Ognevoy''-class) destroyer were welded on. Notably, this new arrangement gave her a single double barreled turret rather than two single barreled turrets.

** A less famous but weirder example is [[https://img-forum-wt-com.cdn.gaijin.net/original/2X/a/a20baefb21ba6c687ef03744c681bf582bc8dd37.jpeg a B-24J-15-CO Liberator with a B-17G nose of unknown origin]]. It seems to have been an attempt to improve the the flight characteristics and while it was mildly successful at this (8.5 mph faster than a standard B-24J[[note]]There's no record of whether its low-speed handling, something notoriously bad in the B-24, was improved at all.[[/note]]), it couldn't fly nearly as high (engines would start overheating at 19,000 feet, compared to normal B-24s operating at 25,000 feet and B-17s at 35,000 feet) and thus the hybrid was a failure.

** The US M4 Sherman tank came in multiple hull variations, some made of cast steel and others welded together from multiple steel plates. This was done so that multiple factories which had different equipment could all make Shermans. In addition to the basic hull variations, there was the M4 Composite which used the welded hull of the M4 except for the frontal section, which was of the cast type used on the [=M4A1=]. In British service these were known as Sherman I Hybrid, since the British Army referred to the M4 as Sherman I and the [=M4A1=] as Sherman II. Since the more rounded frontal hull of the [=M4A1=] was the most visually distinctive different from the M4, these were often mistaken by soldiers in the field and sometimes even in official reports for [=M4A1=]/Sherman II variants instead of M4/Sherman I variants. There was little difference in performance between the M4 and [=M4A1=], but cast hulls could be manufactured quicker than welded ones. However, since not all factories were set up for steel casting, some hulls were made partially from welded parts and then the cast front section was shipped to them to be welded on, creating the M4 Composite.
* In many instances, a wide variety of American and British tanks have been built with identical turret ring diameter, which theoretically make it possible to swap out the turrets. And sometimes this theory has actually been put into practice. For example, the American M48 Patton, M60, and M1 Abrams and the British Chieftain and Challenger all have 85 inch turret rings. This resulted in the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/o24j32/the_general_dynamics_m602000_or_120s_a_proposal/ 120S]], an M60 hull with an [=M1A1=] Abrams turret mounted on it, which was offered as an upgrade package for old M60 tanks. More successfully (at least in terms of somebody actually buying them) are the CM-11 and CM-12 of the Taiwanese military, which use [=M60A3=] and [=M48A3=] hulls combined with a heavily modified version of the [=M48A3=] turret that mounts the M60's 105mm gun and the fire control systems of the M1 Abrams.
* When turret rings *don't* match, one tank's turret can't simply be dropped onto another tank. But with a little bit of work, it's still possible. For example, the French Army altered some AMX-13 light tanks with a "collar" on the turret ring to adapt it for the turret of the American M24 Chaffee. The "AMX-US" as it was called was considered more useful in the infantry support role, because the AMX-13's autoloader drums could only be reloaded (including to change ammo types, such as to load high explosive or cannister shot for anti-infantry use) by ''getting out of the tank''. But the AMX-13 was smaller, lighter, and more fuel-efficient than the M24, so converting some AMX-13s for this role was more desirable than keeping the M24 in service for infantry support. And previously, the opposite conversion had been tested as well: mounting the AMX-13's turret on the Chaffee in an attempt to upgrade its anti-tank firepower. While functional, this conversion was decided to not be worth pursuing.
** The FL-10 turret of the AMX-13 in fact proved ''remarkably'' adaptable to being mounted on almost anything. If the turret ring was the wrong size, just make an adapter. If the vehicle didn't already ''have'' a turret ring, just cut a hole in its roof to make one. Some examples include [https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/m4a4-fl-10/ Egyptian Shermans modified to mount the FL-10]] and [[a river patrol boat mounting it](https://www.usarmygermany.com/Units/USNavy/Partials_RRP%2045.htm).

Even after they regain the ability to return to Earth through use of the Infinity Gates, Tony Stark is shown making plans to give the Avengers more mobility in this galaxy by building what he terms the Avengers Astro-Carrier a vessel combining traits of the old SHIELD helicarriers and various other ships used by the Republic fleet (Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Scott Lang/Ant-Man mention that they had been considering creating something like that themselves before Tony joined them, but at the time they lacked the technical expertise to design such a ship properly beyond the concept)

* World War I era ocean going monitors [[note]] ships built around a single battleship turret[[/note]] were usually built using whatever major components were in inventory. You might have something like the spare turrets from a class of battleships mated to the engines from a canceled cruiser, left over destroyer boilers, and armor from the scrap yard. However, since the hull was a custom design, this chimeric nature was usually not obvious.

Part of the plan involves ''Destiny'' taking both crews back to Earth in the ''Star Trek'' universe, as its superior FTL speeds mean that a trip that would still take ''Voyager'' over thirty years will just take ''Destiny'' three months. As part of this journey, the Delta Flyer is modified and equipped with docking clamps that will allow it to use the shuttle docking ports on ''Destiny'', giving ''Destiny'' a warp-capable shuttle that can also transport people to any planets they pass by.
