With the DDS at an AMBER (or higher) alert status all maintenance and upgrade work has to be cleared by DDS Operations before it can take place unless the ship(s) in question are out of service anyway. The go-ahead has been given for the 2115 Panther upgrade which will begin in a few days.
This is a sign the DDS do not think the Argon situation is one for long-tern concern. Indeed it is rumoured the DDS may revert to GREEN status soon (with DDS South remaining on a higher alert).
