CONSTRUCTION LOG MESSAGE 1/19.06.829

Log, Chief Engineer Nomura. The disassembling of the "Hitachi" is complete. Approximately 62% of the hull materials were retrieved intact and are being re-smelted into the appropriate forms for the use in the hull of the "Zuiryu". This is more than enough to cover the relatively small modifications of already not large "Takeda"-class "Zuiryu". We have reserved dock 4 of Yukawa for construction purposes which is also shielded by positron shield modules from all kinds of debris and possible attacks. Kishiro is most helpful in assisting the construction and hosting the personnel. While Samura is mostly busy right now at Yokohama dealing with "Zuikaku", we still have their representatives offering expertise in certain "Takeda" modules for which Samura was responsible during the initial design.

There is certainly much for me to learn when it comes to ship construction. After all, my engineering experience comes mostly from civilian installations and vessels and I have not been a part of the Clan long enough to get much experience working with "Takeda". In this situation, the imperial engineers from Kure eclipse us all. Their stewardship is indispensable for this project and I am certain that we will avoid quite a lot of issues by having them with us.

As of now, the main task is to produce the new parts and install them on "Zuiryu". So far we are working with reinforcing the hull and mounting the "horns" that will serve as the cover for the new communication array and detection modules during the further stages of the modification. The "horns" resemble the ones found on "Tokugawa"-class battleships and in principle should allow "Mizu" to mount better scanners and support long-range communication easier. The work is going normally and we expect the structural works to end within a week given that "Zuiryu" is already a completed functional ship. After that, the team will commence the interior fitting of the new parts and their connection to the main systems of "Zuiryu".

The work is very promising, I am getting a premium for working away from home, and this whole thing can elevate me within the clan. Let us hope everything is going to end well.
