Construction percentages with an unfinished design

A reported construction percentage raises questions about how progress is measured while the overall ship design remains incomplete.

Notes

The lead ship is reported as about 12 percent complete in 2025 while its design remains unfinished. That percentage prompts a question about what completion measures when the final ship has not been fully defined. An October 2023 graphic is described as a progress breakdown by grand module, with only specified modules intended for construction. The passage distinguishes Constellation's physical construction from the less certain status of Congress, whose laying down is not confirmed here.
