No, I don't think its when they're laid down. Laid down for ships is I guess like being conceived for babies. Basically starting construction in the drydock. When a ship is finished its being launched into the sea, first time in the water. What happens after that I think is that the ship and its assigned crew go on trials/training. When those are complete, the ship is being comissioned into active duty. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
