Guten Morgen, Kapitan,

This is quite the troubling report, the recent emergence of several battleship-class ships under the the flag of the Alster Union is very troubling in of itself, even if they seem to be little more than salvaged wrecks, most likely from the 80-year war, if not older. This new vessel however, is clearly from a different design philosophy than what the Rheinland Militär or Liberty Navy traditional deploys. We are still conducting our own investigation on the vessel, but we are certain that it's primary purpose is to act as a mobile electronic-warfare platform, as evidenced by the excessive EMP signature it produces, even while seemingly idle. No doubt this will make the ships movements easier to track, should it ever leave the Tanner Asteroid Belt, and enter Rheinland proper.

Given that the gate to Bering is still cut, and the Westfalens potion in North-Eastern Hamburg, we would expect it to make a break for the Bremen jumphole, so any forces to intercept it would be best positioned on the Battleship Braunschweig. Additionally, your scans of the ships weapon systems show it is at least conventionally armed, for a battleship, yet given it cannot even properly shield it's electro-magnetic footprint, I highly doubt the ship has the armor plating to stand-up in a face to face fight with a Bismark-class battleship. That however, is merely contemplation, further data will be needed to be collected before a solid conclusion can be drawn.

Should your forces encounter it, I would recommend keeping it at bay, till the nearest battle-group can muster its forces and reinforce your potion. Additionally, should it be feasible, boarding and capturing the vessel would be ideal, as we can then pick apart its secrets from within. However, even destroyed, it will be better than the Alster Union having another battleship to field.
