Fleet Admiral,

Coming back with another lengthy report from Juneau after speaking with the quartermaster moments ago - the man's just left this office, in fact. So, let me speak of the progress in an orderly fashion.

First thing first - material shipments; Detroit Munitions completed their contract, and so did Merchant Marine, with supplies moved to reconstruction site and put to use immediately upon delivery, nothing got to lay in storage for a prolonged period of time.

Ship's energy distribution network was rebuilt from ground-up - too much of it was beyond repair to faciliate partial replacement without risking failures in the areas Yorktown would've inherited from before reaching Juneau; on a warship where men and women of Liberty will be safeguarding Liberty in their service. We can not, and will not afford the loss of life to negligence and oversight.

The reactor's been the worst part. The mothballed Atlantis-class was manned by a skeleton crew and escorted to Juneau during an issued general traffing warning due to malfunction of one of trade lane rings. Our officers assisted with traffic routing on spot, and warning was lifted half an hour later once towing to Zone 21 was complete; once fit into a clear drydock, the crew have returned to Baltimore on a shuttle blent in with general traffic and Juneau construction workers carried out the same process that was done to Yorktown in preparation - power supply lines were disconnected from the reactor, outer plating removed, heavy lifters subsequently replaced the depleted core with a service ready reactor, subsequently restoring power lines and outer armor plating.

In parallel, work has been carried out on Yorktown to replace the dysfunctional armor plates all across her hull and repressurise the damaged decks; the work's complete by now, and all the internal wiring has been recreated from the ground-up using the blueprints copied from Yorktown's data storage - it's been passed to relevant department for analysis, and they'll file a separate report in it's regard if it's deemed necessary. All materials not related to rebuilding project are outside of my jurisdiction now.

A test launch has been run in the aftermath of work completion with simulated load on the newly installed reactor, it's output registered at 95% for majority of test uptime with simulated load typically generated by ship's systems. Everything remained stable, with fluctuations not surpassing recommended values and staying within ±0,5%.

She is ready to be put back to active service, Fleet Admiral.
