Japanese naval shipyards

Now, now, remember the Yamato and the Nagato... it sounds to me like you guys
have totally failed to keep abreast of
state-of-the-art Japanese shipbuilding technology. Perhaps the fact that
those planets of theirs are still unknown to star-faring society in
general, being as they are wholly owned by private corporations... oh rats,
did I say something I shouldn't have? I mean, you guys are cleared
for this level of information, right? <don't get too excited - big  grin
[:-))

Nathan Pettigrew, if you're around somewhere, would you drop me a line? Thanx

Well, I did hear a rumor where Kawasaki Heavy Industries was able to produce
ship components from out of nowhere, or so it would seem.

Hello!

I started doing some background work for Japan for the GZGPedia and then kinda
got sidetracked by real life (gettin' married, Y2k work, etc...). I'll send
you what I've come up with so far. I'd be very interested to hear your
thoughts, especially since you're a lot closer to the source.

Later, Nathan

I will look through your material; thanks for sending it. GZG is not in Japan
yet (you there, Jon?), and hopefully I can help make it so.

Let me get back to you.
