Second part of my report on the readiness of the new IMG shipbuilding program.

IMGC-24C "Gasherbrum" Gunboat - A significant increase in armor and a moderate one in engine capacity allow this ship to maintain the maneuverability of the Hydra while being better protected. No other changes are planned for the near future, and production schedules will be met. I may point that the limits of this new design are yet to be reached.

IMGC-104D "Sagarmatha" Battlecruiser - no problems or obstacles during the design of this ship. All is ready for production. The exploration variant requires a bit more time for completion due to some new experimental systems being finetuned.

IMGM-2C "Annapurna" Mining Ship and IMGT-5E "Nanga Parbat" Medium Transport - design phase on both is completed, and produyction of both ships is already launched - first completed vessels are expected in days.

IMGT-8C-Proto "Shishipangma" Heavy transport - I fear it may come to scratching all work and beginning from the start here. It seems the design is actually sound for a limited cargo capacity only - not something that can do the job of a heavy transport. The current design specs for armor and cargo are incompatible with the available design solutions. Our engeneers have already gone back to their boards and are working hard on both a new design for a heavy transport and possible corrections on the current one.
