Isn't something missing? Where was the other 0.1IP expended? I note that the same entry is in the 2nd Quarter report.

A floating dock at Zeebrugge.
See the body of the report.

Quoted from "Hood"

A floating dock at Zeebrugge.
See the body of the report.

Ah. My bad. I think of drydocks - of any sort - as infrastructure, not shipbuilding.

I would say technically I think Hood's report would handle how floating drydocks are built using our rules quite accurately. They are essentially built similar to ships and under our rules would be handled as infrastructure. The question I have is, how do we handle the cost of them being partially dismantled and moved to other locations, if there is a cost at all?

Oh he is accounting for it correctly; I merely would have expected to see it covered in the infrastructure section of the report rather than the shipbuilding section - that's why it is my bad in not reading the report thoroughly. As for moving, our present rules have no cost requirements, merely a time delay for settling in.

Yeah, I always put actual slip/ dock work in Appendix A for ease of reference to the slip/dock it refers to.
Odd but my personal thing. I'll probably tighten up my style later on.
