Research log #22305-Project Polaris/Damage Mitigation Field:

The SSV Polaris (light reconnaissance/support cruiser, Polaris-class) is complete, our first ship to employ the damage mitigation field in combat. In simulated battles against the IJN Yamato, the new ship showed a significant increase in combat effectiveness over a ship of the same class without the DMF installed. Using the DMF device, the Polaris was able to successfully destroy the Yamato with minimal damage sustained and all systems remaining functional, whereas the unupgraded version of the ship dealt heavy damage to the Yamato with its RGM-18 Harpoon missiles, but was quickly sunk by the larger battleship's heavy guns.





Final notes: Experiment successful. The damage mitigation field performs with a high degree of effectiveness to greatly reduce damage sustained from large caliber guns and dive bombers, but cannot be deployed over larger ships due to excessive power consumption. The device requires significant costs in both monetary resources and time to produce and deploy on a ship. Ready for deployment in battle.
