===Overview of 3161 for the Lyran Commonwealth Navy (LCN)===
====Shipyard Production for Boojum Naval Yard====
Production Timetable averages, Boojum Naval Yard, Kowloon system:
Production method: Assembly line, floating.
Null-Gee fabrication facility, with null-gee/vacuum forging and casting capacity.
Each cutter is 18 months from core forging to finished product.  There are 30 slips in production and cutters are produced in staggered batches.
Separation between hulls is one week, (based on the speed with which cutter cores can be processed from raw germanium.)
The Boojum yard foundry is capable of turning out one cutter core every three days.
In the 10 years from 3143 to 3153, the Boojum Yard alone was running three eight standard hour shifts per 24 hour standard day, six standard days out of 7, making it NOT the most productive naval yard in the Commonwealth, as the Sabbath is observed at the Boojum Yard strictly.
So, how many cutters have left the Boojum Yard alone in that ten years?
Second math problem:  Boojum Yard's secondary line is 12 slips, capable of producing the Landmark class destroyer.  From keel-to-commission is 24 months.  Foundry 2 can produce a Destroyer sized compact core at a rate of 1 every 3 days from raw ore to structural encasement as the keel of a vessel.  The Landmark class has been in continuous production for the LCN since 3143 at Boojum, running the same line schedule and per-man production schedule as the cutter line.
Assuming a 10 year block of time, (3143 to 3153) how many Landmark class destroyers have left the Boojum Yard for LCN service?
Cutters and Destroyers are also produced at at Buena (since 3147), Kaumberg (3148), Tharkad (since 3145), Duran (since 3143), and Winter (since 3085 for Cutters, and since 3143 for the Landmark class destroyer)  These other production sites run 7 day work weeks and vary somewhat in slip count and therefore, output.
===Production Numbers===
Highest slip count Cutters:
Tharkad: 240
Duran: 120
Boojum(Kowloon):30
Winter NSY (Winter Key): 21
Buena Yards: 18
Kaumberg: 6
Highest slip count, Destroyers:
Tharkad: 90
Duran: 48
Boojum: 12
Winter Key: 9
Buena: 3
Kaumberg: 1
