Not a builder's drawing — an intelligence one. ISCA-TI has never had an Anchorage vessel
in dock, only fragments: a passing scan here, a yard photograph there, a salvage report
that lists what was cut from a hulk and never seen again. This sheet assembles those
fragments into one representative hull. The solid lines are observed. The dashed lines
are inferred. The empty spaces are honest. There is no Anchorage class — every
vessel is a biography of the ships it was cut from, and no two are alike.

The hull that emerges from the fragments is not elegant and was never meant to be. It is a
cargo drum that used to be someone's livelihood, an old hull section with its windows welded
shut, a forward module no one can place, and an array bolted on at the wrong angle that folds
the dark anyway — and pays the same Cost ours do to fold it. The institution drew this sheet
to know its adversary. What the sheet mostly records is how little it ever let itself learn.
