Ship log, entry #6:

29/04/828, Waterloo Station - As my vessel is in repairs again, I have time and opportunity to write this log file to sum up our last two days.

28/04/828, was rather uneventful day for us. We've spent most of our time patrolling Newcastle System and Leeds System, as our damage control teams worked to make our hangars operational again. The only notable moment was, when HMS Majestic requested our company on its patrol, so I've had quite some time to talk with admiral Oliver Myles. He was intrigued in our encounter with Vatan, but all available information from that encounter was rather sparse, so my report was very vague and inconclusive.
Our patrols took us form Leeds System to the Cortez System. Nothing else to report.

29/04/828, we have been patrolling through Newcastle, Leeds and Edinburgh systems. While the first ones were rather ordinary, we had two notable Gaian encounters in Edinburgh System.

At 1936, Gaian snubcraft Grian appeared in our scanner range. It turned out, that it's from Gaian destroyer Artio we have escorted out of the New London System several days ago. We have exchanged few pleasantries, but then I issued a formal request for the vessel to leave the area, in which it complied. No use of force was necessary.

At 2102, we have met another Gaian vessel, a destroyer in this case, identified as Carnwennan. We exchanged a few pleasantries as well, but then we issued a formal request to leave the area, which was denied. Then it wanted us to leave, which we denied at first, but were forced to leave nevertheless, as during the brief exchange of gunfire, our gunnery was off the mark and we weren't able to score any significant hits, while Carnwennan's guns, while smaller and less powerful, managed to score numerous hits upon HMS Minotaur. While neither of these shots proved to be able to pierce through our armored bridge or citadel, it managed to disable our fire directors, making our gunnery even worse. I've called for backup and withdraw from Edinburgh for repairs at 2126.
HMS Majestic come to our rescue while we disengaged from the battle, allowing us to not receive any further damage from our pursuer.

Overall though, my gunnery teams have a lot to improve. I've already planned several gunnery simulations and trial in upcoming days.

Anna Kwiatkowska,
CO of the HMS Minotaur,
Signing off.
