Admirals,

I'm grateful for the praise and will be sure to commend the team who'd seen this project to it's completion under my management - these people deserve more credit for shouldering the bulk of this herculean task. I've but humbly directed their efforts and ensured all the needs for the project to proceed smoothly were covered on time. But I digress - Vice Admiral Uhmen, your suggestion for classified trials is sound - nothing like these trials is a better way to bid farewell to the drydock and welcome her into live action, and the task force it's getting assigned to.

I will not deny - I am eager to take the helm of her, but something tells me with this new beginning from a fresh page - she would do well with a new name to her. I suggest we rechristen her New Jersey.

Her and I are both eagerly awaiting your arrival at Juneau, Vice Admiral. Let our efforts mark the beginning of her service to the Republic anew, not foreshadowed by her past.

Oh, and on additional note, Vice Admiral - it'd be my pleasure to see New Jersey assigned to the Task Force Akhetaten - I presumed it's best I make it clear.
