Almost Ready to Launch

Our neighbourhood shipyard is still busy making patrol boats for the Japan Coast Guard.  Considering how high the boat in the water is riding above the waterline, the engines have not yet been installed. 

One is in the water being outfitted, but a second one is being prepared for launching.

After these two, there's an order for coast guard boats to be sent to Sri Lanka as foreign aid. All built right in our neighbourhood. And the motto of the Sumidagawa Shipyard doesn't translate into English very well, does it?
