Ship Upgrades - When do they Occur

August 1942,
I have had the Enterprise and Lexington in Seattle and Los Angeles respectively, initially to repair damage. However both of the ships now have a SYS of 5 and 6 respectively.
Both ships are elligible for an Upgrade, and I have checked that the Upgrade toggle to YES, but for over a month now neither ship has upgraded ( basically the 12.7mm MGs should be replaced with 20mm Oerlikon ).
Both ports have repair point available over the Duability of the ships ( e.g. Seattle has 400 Ship Repair points, and the Enterprise has a durability of 80 ).
What am I missing [&:]
Thanks
Peter Marshall

Did the system damage appear after it disbanded in port after the upgrade date?...if so, the system damage is representative of the upgrade being performed.

No - I sent the ships to the West Coast after they had been damaged.
Do I have to get all of the Original Damage Repaired before they will upgrade ( only asking as Enterprise has been at 5 SYS for at least 2 weeks ) ?
Thanks.
Peter

As soon as they repair, they will get damaged again and be upgraded if memory serves.
The upgrade is instant, it happens as soon as a ship eligible goes into a port with a repair yard *and* is not damaged.
It does not take multiple turns, you just have to meet the no damage condition.

Thanks,
It is the Undamaged condition that has been fooling me - Oh well will just have to wait longer.
Thanks for your help Guys.

Having just run my next turn, Enterprise has Upgraded. However there was still some original damage, SYS damage has gone from 5 ( Original Damage ) to 8 but the Equipment has changed.
Hopefully the Lexington will upgrade in a turn or two ( Sat at L.A. with 6 Sys damage )

The limit may be 5 SYS, not 0 SYS, can't honestly remember. It's basically there to prevent an upgrade from sinking your ship as the upgrade itself *adds* SYS damage.

It is probably 5 sys damage - at least my JIN ships have to be repaired to this point to get upgrades.
