Good afternoon,

Just giving you an update on our work thus far for your vessel.

I’m happy to say that the installation process of the reactor from a L-584-B “Oasis” has been completed. The reactor is, however, one of the older DSE-BS-22-3-A models, from the initial production line of the vessel - it’s been refurbished by Baltimore Shipyard, but is by no means a new unit. The armored housing has maybe a dozen scratches from some dockyard taking the unit out for inspection every now and again, though they appear to be all superficial. We’re going through the process of hooking the unit up now.

Engine repairs for #1, 2, 3 have commenced. We’re replacing the radiation shielding on #3, since that seems to be the main issue there with no light-off problem, though there are several discrepancies with the actual drive cone that’s making fitment a problem. I’m guessing the cone is very much not original, which makes sense considering the state of the vessel. As such, some of the shielding plates are being cut to fit. For engines #1, #2, we’re disassembling and inspecting all components for major wear, with intentions to refit and replace as we go.

Currently significant sections of the hull plating have been cut away for replacement. Currently we’ve completed removal of all hull plating aft of frame 190, around the reactor placement and engine systems, with replacement of paneling at maybe 60% or so. Removal of hull plating amidships is still ongoing, with around half of the area removed. Removal and replacement of hull plating forward of amidships is still ongoing, with inspections to ensure we aren’t replacing what’s still good for you.

We’re currently standing by for most of the internal electronics inspection until the reactor has been fully settled in and gone through several power cycles to ensure operability. Visual inspection on wiring from amidships to aft, as well as all coupling and redirection stations for power, is ongoing.

Should you have any questions on the state of the ship, or the state of any specific systems, please let me know.
