As you can see, there are two being built, and yet this gov.
Why is this happening? The box even says I am "OK"...
Edit: Is it that one is halted? They both have to be continuously worked on for the entire duration of the event??
Just tested - that is it. FYI, for anyone taking these build requirements, you must keep it active until you are "praised" for building the required amount. With the trigger gone, you should be free to halt them.

To be precise, they only have to be actively building in the month the check is made (6 months after the request?).

Might be a little random, but I'm confident it's more than 3 so that you can have a new design in place if need be.

According to my previous games, the officer will come to check after 6 months, leaving you enough time to design a new class of ship and bring them into construction. Of course, you can use the time to just allocate money or do other things if you have mature designs. I usually start constructing just before the check.
To meet the requirements, the construction of the ships cannot be halted when the officer comes, and they are not allowed to be scrapped in several months after the check. However, it is possible to halt them after the check and scrap them later. (I am an expert at deceiving superior leaders  ) |

The halted construction still costs money.
I usually accept only half of requested ships and than it depends on type of ship.
Destroyers usually is never enough so it is more likely about having enough money for construction.
Cruisers have usually several roles and usually at least some of them are closing end of life.
Battleship and battlecruisers are allabout money as they are almost always handy.

i usually accept the build request to get the extra budget, but often don't bother building the ships and accept the prestige hit just to get that budget increase

Costs 2-3 prestige, so if you can take the hit, it's worth it. I've found that surprisingly often it's a request for something I need anyway (or can at least talk myself into). Build 8 BS... well, it's probably time to replace my 4 slowest. Build 12 cruisers... I'd been thinking about a throwaway raider. Etc. |

My main problem with those requests is how the game counts the ships under construction.
"We need more BBs", says the minister
"Agreed, we have laid down four new ones just two months ago", I reply
"I'd like for you to build 6 new ones"
"Hm, I guess I can squeeze two more into the budget with a bit of shuffling funds around"
"No, no, those four already under construction don't count because those are not ships _I_ have requested!"
"What!?"

"What!?" I view it as, "our current order of 4 new battleships isn't sufficient, we need 10 total!" And then just build a little single turreted monitor with sufficient armor and speed to fulfill whatever is needed to be built on the cheapest possible hull and cancel them once I get the prestige up |
