The claim that the Imperium could still build Gloriana-sized ships is qualified by the cost relative to smaller battleships. Ready access to parts for repairing very large vessels then prompts suspicion that production has continued. Participants infer that a supposedly inactive industrial capability would not normally yield those components so quickly. Shared design features between newer Retributions and Glorianas are also raised. The proposed hidden production line is an inference about the fictional setting, rather than an established revelation.
