侯爵島森正仁

尊敬するクサリ海軍省へ, (//"Sonkei suru kusari kaigun-shō e" - To the esteemed Kusari Naval Office. )

I extend my warm greetings and assurances of the highest esteem to you. It had been a while since the Shimamori Clan contacted the Emperor's Army. As we both know, The Sistership - Zuiryu is under the Kusari Naval Fleet's command. Due to the recent news on the southern borders of the Kusari which will lead to a possible conflict with the Liberty Navy, I, Kinoshita Akechi and the crew of Zuikaku are requesting to transfer to the Kusari Naval Forces jurisdiction and join the main Fleet to fight alongside Zuiryu.

敬具木下明智 (//"Keigu Kinoshita Akechi" (best regards, Kinoshita Akechi)

Kinoshita-san of Clan Shimamori.

Following careful consideration as the head of the division currently deploying the original Ikazuchi-class, and with the Shimamori Clan's excellent care taken with this vessel in mind, we stand favorably towards your transfer request. However, we were not permitted by Uchugun Command to arrange for your vessels transfer to the role we consider most suitable to one of Shimamori-sama's loyal man and his crew.

Instead, the Zuiryu is to make way for the orbit of Planet Junyo. Instructions on your reassignment to the 39th Mobile Taskforce will be handled by local command onboard the IKN-Myoko.

In service of Kusari,
Goryō
