--------------- EXPECTED PROGRESS ---------------
-stub out ship class

--------------- ACTUAL PROGRESS ---------------
-Progress this week was much slower than expected.  Due to a number of circumstances including a trip home to Ohio for the weekend and a number of assignments last week, I did not get done what I hoped to get done -- that is stubbing out the ship class.  


--------------- SNAGS --------------- 
-still need copy of visual studio! 
-interruption of work due to easter and trip home


--------------- PLANS --------------- 
Originally I had hoped to have a basic version of the ship class implemented by the end of week 4, but now I don't think I'll get that done until sometime early in week 5.  My plan for this week is to actually stub out ship class and begin implementing it
