A. Factories

11/11 factories = 11,000 t of material + 1,000 t from Mexico + 1,250 t from China + 500 t from SAE + 1,552 t stockpiled = 15,302 t available.

13,481 t are used, leaving a stockpile of 1,821 t.

0/11 factories (committed) = 0.0 infrastructure pts available.

0/11 factories (flexible) = 0.0 infrastructure pts available.

South African funds contributed to the Chandragupta refit.


E. Other notes:

Monitor Chandragupta begins 75% refit at Port Louis, SAE. Receives 1,000 t.

The Escort Refurbishment Program will see most of the BNS’ sloops and destroyers receive Level 3 refits over the next two years. Due to the number of ships so affected, dry-docks are being utilized at maximum capacity. Four docks will cycle destroyers; two will cycle sloops. The schedule for Q2/43 is:

Destroyer Docks: 1 x Miraj class weeks 1-3 (requiring another 3 weeks in Q2), turn-around weeks 4-5, 1 x Allahabad class weeks 6-12, turn-around begins week 13.

Sloop Docks: 1 x Kudligi class, week 1, turn-around weeks 2-3, 1 x Shimla class weeks 4-10, turn-around weeks 11-12.

Refit costs are incurred in the quarter that the refits commence; this is 4*251 = 1,004 t for the four destroyers, and 2*159 = 318 t for the two sloops.


F. Scrap Report:

4 x Penner class AM, 1 x Mahanadi class AO deleted but not scrapped.
