B. If the contract provides that the purchaser shall be the owner of the ship to be constructed pursuant to the contract and title to the work shall vest in the purchaser as and when performed, and provides that title to the materials shall vest in the purchaser as and when delivered to the shipyard, the materials shall be deemed to have been delivered to the purchaser and title thereto shall vest in the purchaser as and when delivered to the shipyard. C.
