Tis a small point but by my calculations the final payment on the Ancash is 157 vice 151 tons.

I shall add the additional 6,000 kg.

Thank you sir!

Pleasure doing business with you.

Chilean Naval Intelligence politely offers two comments.

These are artifacts from the Q4/41 report; they were paid for and completed, and the tonnage listed on the report doesn't seem to count in the final reckoning of the expenditures.

Second, regarding Ancash: my spreadsheet showed 151 tons rather than 157. I double-checked with Bruce and it seems he had a different light tonnage than the ship listed in the encyclopedia (and my spreadsheet). So it should be 151 tons rather than 157t.

So, according to my calculations, your total expenditures are 5,933t and your surplus is 591t.

I will make the appropriate corrections in my documentation and update my report.

Oops.

And I'll take that 6,000 kg back now, I guess.

Yes, somewhere along the line the incorrect figure cropped into my spreadsheet and no one picked it up in the ongoing sim reports.

I shall now splurge outrageously with my re-recovered 6 t of material (and 6 t more in Q3!)...

I think a nice small Presidential Motor Launch would be appropriate; don't you?

I was indeed thinking upon those lines.
