I managed to meet officer Shin Takeru, captain of the KDS-Shinano and member of the 3rd Battlecruiser Division, stationed in Kyushu. After inquiring of the current situation of the division and the 2nd Fleet as best as he could provide, I bestowed him the rank of Itto Kaisa on behalf of the Admiralty and the command of the mentioned Battlegroup, so he could lead an operation I've assigned him.
I will remain in Kyushu for a few more days, before heading back to handle project Houshou.
Takeru-kaisa will count with the support of the 4th Logistics Division, the 112th Naval Guard Wing, and the 85th Engineers Division.

[25.07.2016 18:44:33] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: At ease, and take a seat.
[25.07.2016 18:44:46] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: Hai. *Shin sits down*
[25.07.2016 18:46:11] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Nito Kaisa Shin Takeru, veteran officer of the Naval Forces from before the Republican Regime...
[25.07.2016 18:46:30] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Currently Commander of the 3rd Battlecruiser Division here in Kyushu. Is this correct?
[25.07.2016 18:47:08] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Oh, let's see.
[25.07.2016 18:47:11] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: *nods* Takeru: That is correct. But you forgot one title.
[25.07.2016 18:47:57] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Captain of the KDS-Shinano, element of the 3rd Div. Your current rank does not allow for full command of the Division, it seems
[25.07.2016 18:48:18] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: You wish to add something, Takeru-Kaisa?
[25.07.2016 18:49:13] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: You forgot the title "former Commander of the Imperial Guard" Admiral.
[25.07.2016 18:50:02] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: *with a dry smile, Shimoe replies: I guess that meant you were a big shot during that time...
[25.07.2016 18:50:48] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: Admiral with all respect you know who I am and what I did in the Seto system. And that the Shinano also is an sign
[25.07.2016 18:50:57] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: of respect and trust by HC
[25.07.2016 18:51:36] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: With all due respect, what valor you obtained during any attacks on Bretonia are long in the past, Commander.
[25.07.2016 18:51:59] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: My respect stands on you duty as an officer, and your long commitment to Kusari as a whole.
[25.07.2016 18:53:24] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Either way, our current pool of trained officers is small, and we must make a good use of all of them available.
[25.07.2016 18:53:42] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: I appreciate that respect and yes its long in the past. But I still think and hope im a Name within the Naval Forces
[25.07.2016 18:53:49] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: Tell me Commander, when was the last time you have been in contact with Admiral Sakamoto?
[25.07.2016 18:55:52] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: I must say its been a whole while I have very vague orders and to be honest Admiral im usualy doing "my thing"
[25.07.2016 18:56:08] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I see.
[25.07.2016 18:56:51] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: What is the current combat status of the Shinano and the 3rd Div. as a whole? I heard you were heavily involved in the-
[25.07.2016 18:56:58] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: 1st Battle of Nagumo.
[25.07.2016 18:57:32] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: The Shinano is at full combat capability including the escort wings
[25.07.2016 18:59:45] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: The Division is also at full strength since we were reinforced by a new BC. You know the situation.
[25.07.2016 19:00:39] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: Good to hear. We were waiting for your report since the summons of last month.
[25.07.2016 19:02:44] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: Well, it is good you are here, Takeru-Kaisa.
[25.07.2016 19:02:56] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: Well i think i have missed that message to be honest. I have no information about that
[25.07.2016 19:03:28] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: Do you feel capable to resume your duties and take up a new assignment?
[25.07.2016 19:05:17] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: Yes of course.
[25.07.2016 19:06:39] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: Understood.
[25.07.2016 19:07:05] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki:* Shimoe rises from his chair, and hands over a letter with official instructions*
[25.07.2016 19:07:46] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: As of this moment, Shin Takeru has been promoted to Itto Kaisa, and given command of the 3rd BC Division.
[25.07.2016 19:08:17] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: *bows* Takeru: Its an Honor.
[25.07.2016 19:08:51] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: Furthermore, the 3rd Division will lead a detachement force efforts to secure and reinforce the Kyushu Military-
[25.07.2016 19:08:55] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: South route.

[25.07.2016 19:09:39] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: The Forces assigned to you will secure and build up fortifications on sector 6E and surrounding area to support additional-
[25.07.2016 19:09:58] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: defense operations on the Kyushu frontline against the imperial renegades.
[25.07.2016 19:10:30] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: That is a realy remote sector...
[25.07.2016 19:10:40] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I expect an operational fighter outpost within a months time, and additional emplacements within 3 months.
[25.07.2016 19:11:21] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: That is why you are given this task. The Battlecruiser Division can defend itself well on it's own, as well as cover all force-
[25.07.2016 19:11:34] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: -forces focused on setting up our defenses there.
[25.07.2016 19:11:45] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: That should be doable Admiral.
[25.07.2016 19:12:37] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I shall be overseeing the logistical efforts of the Naval Forces for the next months at least, so report your needs and-
[25.07.2016 19:12:58] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: progress to me, as well as to Admiral Sakamoto, your Fleet Commanding officer.
[25.07.2016 19:13:23] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: Hai. Will do.
[25.07.2016 19:13:51] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: Any questions, Takeru-Kaisa?
[25.07.2016 19:14:18] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: Will there be an Construction Ship available for the Outpost?
[25.07.2016 19:15:16] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Shimoe: The 4th Logistics Division will be operating under your orders. We will see that it is included in their roster.
[25.07.2016 19:16:13] [KNF]KDS-Shinano: Takeru: Good. That should work. And the Base should be Operational soon enough
[25.07.2016 19:16:31] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Your orders are to begin at 2400 hours of today. Good luck, and godspeed Captain. Dismissed.
