Brock and Hood have worked on keeping Brazil ticking over.
This is the report for 1947.
The refits listed are purely refurbishment for life extension and no major changes are made to the ships in term of armaments etc. so their SS reports remain identical.
Brock and Hood discussed a new carrier for Brazil to replace the mix array of ex-Greek examples which form an odd rag-tag fleet. Brock suggested a small 16,000 ton carrier and Imperial is the result. Imperial will also replace the old R-Class battleship which will not be refitted at all and will be scrapped. In theory 1948-49 should see a fire sale of the battleship and three carriers.

Moving forwards not much else needs patching up and the fleet looks relatively well rounded but another couple of tankers wouldn't hurt in the future. I don't many other large capital-hungry projects before 1950 being required.

In theory 1948-49 should see a fire sale of the battleship and three carriers

YES! I bet one ton for the whole lot.

A. Industrial Output

7 Factories
Output per quarter:
Fixed IP: 1
Flexible IP: 6
Ship Tonnage: 7,000 tons

This to me suggest that in 1 quarter 7 factories will give you 1 fixed IP, 6 Flexible IPs and 7,000 tons of ship building materials. You would need 10 fixed factories, 60 flexible factories and 7 material factories for that.

Fixed the total, ship tonnage should have been 6,000 tons not 7,000 per quarter.

You would still need 10 fixed factories, 60 flexible factories and 6 material factories for that output kind of output. Brazil has 7 Factories not 76.

Just needed some 0. adding that's all.
