How many components have to be changed all at once for it to be a new ship?

If all but one of the planks is new but one of them is from the original ship is it still the original ship, if not then how many planks from the original ship need to be included in the new ship for it to be the original ship?

Look at it's like that. If you change out one part at a time, everyone considers the ship the same.

Change many components at once and what you hear? "It's practically a new ship!".
