Module 7B is set on the ways. This will free up space for the assembly of 8B.

6 April

Module 7B is being prepared to land. Then the cut will be made in the side for the fin. (Where you see the current space in the shell.)

Module 7A landed on the ways.

30 March

The shaft bearing is being fit-up to the foundation for the shaft. Note the open space we will have in the lower hulls.

23 March

In the shaft alley, we will have a very open work area if we need to work on the shaft bearing. The framing you see in this picture is for the working deck around the shaft bearing.

The stern section of module 7 is taking shape in preparation for the assembly, which will join it to the rest of the module after the two sections are moved outside.

A view of the area being prepared for the stern tube and seal.

9 March

Framing continues around the shaft line. (Nothing special about this picture...I just like it!)

Assembling of shaft alley has started.

Sections of the module are being assembled.
