To: Bretonian Admiralty Board

[AlphaWolf215]

Esteemed Members of the Board,

With the war concluded, and us looking at rebuilding efforts, I’d like to propose the following reclassification for the Great Fleets, and a further classification for regional commanders.

Before we look at Fleet Classifications, I would like to start with Winchester station. Historically this has served as Admiralty Headquarters and has played host to the majority of our meetings. With the acceleration of the war, the majority of these functions passed to Wellington Naval Base on Planet New London. I would like to propose that Winchester station be adapted to the Armed Forces Officer Academy, and serve as headquarters for Oversector East. This would cover the Manchester system, along with fulfilling our duties in Magellan and Cortez under the Treaty of Curacao. I would like if Battlegroups or strike forces could be commissioned to reinforce Winchester’s own garrison, and propose that Admiral McIntire take control of Oversector East. His experience as Fleet Admiral and time on the board makes him an excellent candidate to oversee the training of new officers, and to maintain the connection with Liberty.

Planet New London will remain as the 1st Command Great Fleet, and will double as Admiralty Headquarters. This will be headed by the Fleet Admiral, Admiral Sir Edmund Steiner. This will also serve as the command hub for Oversector Central, and will have oversight of all Great Fleets. I also propose that Essex continues in its role as the 6th Counter Great Fleet, and the now 5th Defence Great Fleet under H.M.S. Norfolk both remain under Oversector Central. In addition, I would propose that Oversector Central retains its focus of returning Leeds and Edinburgh to Crown control. This may well require the commission of new Battlegroups falling under Central command authority.

I would like to propose that Oversector South be headed by the 2nd Command Great Fleet, headquartered on Planet Cambridge. Nottingham and Poole would also fall under this sub sector, which comprises the 9th Mobile Assault Great Fleet, headed by the H.M.S. Ark Royal, and the 10th Defence Great Fleet, headed by H.M.S. MacDuff. As a part of this, I would also propose the commission of the 3rd Control Great Fleet, headquartered on Planet Sprague. I would like to put my name forward for command of Oversector South, with the fleets divided between myself and Admiral McKinley.

The next position I would like to consider is what shall be referred to as Oversector Outer. I propose this is headed by Admiral Redmond, and comprises the recently commissioned 4th Exeter Command Great Fleet, and what remains of the 7th Stirling Response Great Fleet. Their focus will in time become the extension of the Crowns influence through the Omegas, and I propose Governor-General Hall continues to oversee our efforts within the Exeter system.

Finally, I propose the commission of Oversector North. Currently this will comprise the 12th Research Great Fleet, headed by H.M.S. Grimsby, and I also propose that Battlegroup Harlow is formally elevated to the 11th Rapid Deployment Great Fleet, with H.M.S. Harlow continuing in its role as fleet HQ. I would further propose that the 8th Assault Great Fleet is created, under the command of H.M.S. Aberdeen, and that this would in time take on the role of Oversector North HQ. Oversector North would support the reclamation of Leeds and Edinburgh, and would eventually focus on our expansion in the taus.

At this time, this serves as only a proposal, and I would value your input on this before we submit this for Admiral Sir Edmund Steiners sign off. I also attach a table of the fleets and their positions for your perusal.

Yours in service to the Crown,

Lord Admiral M. O'Brian
Harlow Command
Armed Forces HQ
