    I found that the place I order woodworking tools from has plywood!
    What makes this better than the sources that I've used previously for baltic birch ply? First: It's pieces of 60 inch long by 12" wide ply. That makes a lot of ships that can have a one-piece subdeck if you're so inclined. Anything up to 720 feet (in 1/144). Second, it's $10 for the 1/8" thick ply, and $11 for the 1/4" thick. It's made for people making cabinets, so it's reasonably nice plywood; some color-matched plugs in the surface here and there, but I'm happy with the wood I just got.

    $10 for 1/8"? That is way better than the $40 for 12"x48" I am paying now.
