Forgive me for butting in here, but didn't OVA 5 make it pretty
clear where the Ryuoh's remains (the main hull) were? We saw
it pulled out of the lake when Ryoohki transformed; there were
several scenes where the Ryuoh's hull could be seen within
Ryoohki's big ramming spike; and after Kagato's successful strike,
we saw that the ramming spike had been smashed off, and Ryuoh with
it.

(When Ryouko caused Ryooki to ram Souja in OVA 6, she did it
upside-down - dome first instead of spike first. I don't think
our cabbit was designed to be used that way, but it appeared
to work.)

As to why Ryoohki absorbed the remains of Ryuoh, I believe Washuu
said (in OVA 6) something along the lines of "I don't think that
spaceship is complete yet", presumably Ryoohki needed the Ryuoh
to make herself spaceworthy at that time.

Just a little surprised that there was any question in the matter.

         Bob.
