FltCaptAlan Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Quote To: Fleet Admiral Lawrence Lawford, Chief of Operations: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent, Commander: USS Pensacola. From: FltCaptAlan, Commander: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent. Admiral Lawford, it is with great pleasure I inform you that proper communications channels have been reestablished, I wish for a report from each section commander as to the status of the vessels under their commands as soon as possible. Thank You Admiral. Signed: FltCaptAlan, Commander: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent. Quote To: FltCaptAlan, Commander: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent. From: Fleet Admiral Lawrence Lawford, Chief of Operations: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent, Commander: USS Pensacola. Commander, it is a great pleasure to know that proper communications have been established, now on to the reports. Fleet Admiral Yoshida of the IJN section, as well as destroyer Akizuki reports all ships ready for action, recent recruits, namely Legendary Commander Yamamoto, have all found suitable assignments. Fleet Admiral Chandler of the USN section reports his recent transfer to the USS West Virginia '44 went well, although Legendary Commander Halsey was quite displeased for being passed over for command of the USN section. Legendary Commander Kuznetsov reports the the Soviet sections is doing well from his flagship, the Vladivostok, with exception of Commander Chapayev, who when you have been brought up, uses curses that haven't been heard since Admiral Rozhestvensky had to deal with the Kamchatka, something about you telling her she wouldn't be swaying at anchor so much any more, Fleet Admiral Eugen of the Kreigsmarine Section says all her ships are ready for action, so long as you don't need a functioning torpedo launchers, and that you don't mind some dents, hasty patches, and scorch marks, apparently Legendary Commander Lutjens likes to take after Admiral Nelson and get right along side the enemy, and speaking of Nelson... Fleet Admiral Nelson of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth section reports all is well and that Legendary Commander Cunningham is shaping up well in command of the HMS St. Vincent Fleet Admiral Honore of the Marine National, reports from his flagship, Jean Bart, all wine cellars are fully stocked and the bakeries are producing baguettes, for armor, ammo, and rations, at full capacity Legendary Commander Sansonetti of the Regia Marina, reports continued gunnery drills on all RM ships, letting his gun crews on his flagship, the Cesare, lead exercises, unfortunately, RM fleet gunnery is still in need of improvement, Admiral Classen, commander of the European (including the Netherlands and Spain), Asian, and South American section reports, from his flagship Haarlem, that all ships ready and awaiting orders, With that final report, all sections are accounted for, we await further orders Signed: Fleet Admiral Lawrence Lawford, Chief of Operations: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent, Commander: USS Pensacola. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 @FltCaptAlan Nicely done, especially those subtle and not-so-subtle touches of humour. This is exactly the sort of thing we're looking for here! I was scratching my head over Nelson because we don't actually have Horatio in game yet (Was I missing something?) and then I realized you meant the Azur Lane version, and I'd got confused 🤡 because you'd just finished talking about the real dude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 TO: All national contingent commanders. FROM: Fleet Command, R'lyeh RE: Missions. It has come to our attention that several national contingent commanders have examined the requirements for the LUSHUN campaign and are taking a rather over-eager attitude towards becoming involved. Please note that full engagement in this campaign has NOT been approved at the... ah... deepest level. A re-examination of this intention MAY be made during the Anniversary campaign, given the high level of activity necessitated by its demands. However, from the end of the Somme campaign to the beginning of the Anniversary was intended to be a period of relative inactivity, with only the completion of research into CATALUNA being of any real priority. Long-term goals for the Anniversary campaign are currently in flux, as those planning the event have declared an intention to make changes. If the basic structure as it stands does not change too drastically, the intention is to acquire one of the ships that can be obtained in lieu of BAYARD and then take stock of what is still achievable at that point.

Wolfswetpaws Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 From: Vice Admiral William F. Halsey Jr., Captain of the good ship Nebraska To: Adjutant of the Port, Gensui Kaigun Taishō Fubuki Shirakami (the 1st.) Subject: Research Notification Shirakami-sama, The research teams aboard the Nebraska have compiled enough data to finalize the designs of "Project Delaware". The "Blue" quality economic boosters issued to the Nebraska hastened the progress and actually caused an over-abundance of data. The results of an internal audit of this process are enclosed as "Attachment A". An independent inquiry is, of course, an option the Nebraska's crew will fully cooperate with, at your convenience. In service of the Port! Signed, William F. Halsey Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 [Narrator] The scene is the Alpha of the Port's Office. Adjutant of the Port, Fubuki Shirakami (the 1st.) has entered through the open doorway. [Shirakami] ::: walking towards the Alpha's desk and saying ::: "Alpha, here is the "short list" of candidates for assignment to the Delaware, that you asked Gunzo Chihaya and I to come-up with." [Wolfswetpaws] ::: rising from his desk and accepting the list ::: "Thank you." [Wolfswetpaws] ::: after glancing at the list of names ::: "Ahem. For a 'short list', there are quite a few names on it, Adjutant." [Shirakami] "Hai, Alpha. Having a fleet with large pools of personnel to draw from sometimes produces this sort of conundrum." [Shirakami] "One of the considerations is the cost of re-training Halsey. Also, we're at a crossroads for our long-term decisions about Captain Assignments." [Shirakami] "We did leave the Aircraft Carrier Captains off this list, for similar reasons of expense." [Shirakami] "And, it was felt that it would be the least disruptive if most Cruiser and Destroyer candidates were to continue in their current assignment paths." [Shirakami] "Assigning Halsey to the Delaware, or having him wait in reserve until the Louisiana is welcomed, affects how many personnel are moved around." [Shirakami] "As you know, the temporary 'borrow-your-bote' situation aboard the Constellation is currently and happily hosted by Commander A.L. Enterprise." [Shirakami] "But, eventually, the question of who is permanently assigned to the Constelllation will need to be settled. Each change begets other changes." [Wolfswetpaws] "As you say, we're at a crossroads." [Shirakami] "Uhmn." [Wolfswetpaws] "All right. As the old saying goes, *the buck stops here*. I'll give this some thought and let you know my solution to our puzzle." [Shirakami] "Which reminds me, the Port currently has 40 pieces out of the 60 pieces needed for the Battle of the Somme collection puzzle." [Wolfswetpaws] "With less than four days remaining until the deadline on that mission-set, our progress is going to be interesting." [Shirakami] "The betting-pools and bookies are likely to be found very busy, if we had a spare a moment to officially notice them." [Wolfswetpaws] "If we were to officially notice. But, frankly, we have more important matters." [Shirakami] "Will there be anything else?" [Wolfswetpaws] "No. It's late. Let's call it a night and start fresh in the morning." [Shirakami] "Aye-aye, Alpha. See you in the morning." [Wolfswetpaws] "Goodnight, Adjutant." [Narrator] The scene zooms-in on the list of names held in the Alpha's grip, and then fades.

Wolfswetpaws Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Personal Log August 20th., 2023 I'm shaking things up in the USN Captain assignments. Some of this has been deferred for a while and some of this is long-term planning. ~ William F. Halsey Jr., to be transferred from the Nebraska to a temporary assignment as Captain of the rented Aircraft Carrier Essex, for use in the Concealed Maneuvers temporary game mode. Once that temporary game mode is ended, he'll be assigned to the Reserve Barracks and give lectures at the Academy to share the lessons learned from his experiences. I'm borrowing a concept, used during WW-II, wherein Pilots and air-crews would be rotated back 'stateside' after completing 25 combat missions. While specific details vary, I believe the principle applies. In the future Halsey can be assigned to the Louisiana after she's welcomed to the Port. ~ A.L. Enterprise is to resume full-time command of the Saipan, pending the future (someday) welcome of the ship Enterprise. "Job well-done", with regards to her time as temporary Captain of both the Saipan and the Constellation. She gets to keep the extra hat as a souvenir. ~ Daniel Oakley to be transferred from the Massachusetts to the Delaware. ~ Popeye to be assigned to the Massachusetts ~ Brian Alderson to be transferred from the Colorado to the Nebraska ~ Azur Lane Colorado to be assigned to the ship Colorado ~ Azur Lane Iowa will take-over the temporary assignment as Captain of the Constellation and the role of Hostess in the "borrow your bote" program that provides training opportunities for Commanders to sortie in command of the Constellation. ~ Richard McDougall will remain as Captain of the Iowa, for now. My plan is to assign him to the Montanna, someday. When that happens, assigning Azur Lane Iowa to the ship Iowa is anticipated. As I write this, Adjutant Shirikami and Administrator Chihaya's staff are preparing the official orders for my signatures.

Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 TO: All Commanders FROM: Fleet Command, R'lyeh RE: Recent Campaigns. Our commanders are to be congratulated on their efforts to complete the recent tasks with regard to the Azur Lane and (especially) Somme campaigns. Both were successful in terms of obtaining the desired prizes, and we have decided to devolve to a low level of activity prior to the pending Anniversary event. We note the lack of upgrade modules fitted to USS GEARING and SMS JAGER (and possibly others) and we would encourage research in the Public Test environment while keeping our primary activities to a minimum. All that we ask for the remainder of this campaign cycle is that CATALUNA is ready to obtain at the first opportunity and that the Tier 7 economic bonus which is the prize for the campaign cycle is obtained.

Congratulations Admiral. Signed: FltCaptAlan, Commander: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent. Quote To: FltCaptAlan, Commander: [TF617], Sarushima Contingent. From: Vice-Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, Legendary Commander Commander, It is a great honor that you deem me worthy of such a valuable command, I assure you I will command the ship to the best of my abilities, and I will stand ready for any temporary commands you require of me. Signed: Vice-Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, Legendary Commander: IJN Satsuma Quote To: Vice-Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, Legendary Commander: IJN Satsuma From: Rear Admiral Chapayev, Commander: Chapayev Admiral, firstly, congratulations on your new command, I'm sure that when you take that ship out, it will perform well in your qualified hands. Secondly, I must war you, don't listen to our Kamchatka of a commander, he told me once that now that I was in command of the ship I was destined for, I would no longer sway at anchor, and that was true for a handful of battles, it have been months since my ship has left port. I hope for your sake that he does keep his word and gives you temporary commands that he deems you useful for, and if not, surly my cruiser and your mighty battleship could sink his precious fleet of American heavy cruisers, including his beloved Pensacola.

Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 TO: Capitan de Navio Domingo Perez, O/C EspNS ASTURIAS; Commandeur Dasha Perova, O/C HNLMS HAARLEM. FROM: Fleet Command, R'lyeh RE: Promotion to Fleet Admiral, First Class The moment is looming when we will have sufficient promotion credit to make one of you a First Class Fleet Admiral, and as you probably know, it has been a bone of contention at Fleet Command as to which of you should receive this promotion. We have decided to promote Commandeur Perova, as she is in command of a ship she is not likely to leave whereas Capitan de Navio Perez still has a way to go before he is ready for promotion. We would like to see him at least in command of the Andalucia before granting him his permanent flag command. To wait until he is ready would delay unnecessarily our goal, which is ideally to have the both of you at Fleet Admiral Rank by the end of the year. It is better in our opinion to promote Commandeur Perova at the first opportunity and then begin the reaccumulation of more promotion credits at once.
