As some of you are no doubt aware, Captain Somers and his crew have completed their courses for the new vessels, and will be performing detailed test flights of the Flinton within the coming week. The Irvona will remain grounded for the time being save for standard maintenance tests until Captain Harat and her crew have finished their final trials, the date of which we are not yet aware of.
Regarding the registry of both ships, there was a considerable spread in suggestions for new identifiers, with many kept in pocket for future acquisitions. Of the submissions, the administration was particularly fond of Sojourn and Wanderer, both submitted by Mr. Cannuck and Ms. Chase. Community was also a favorite of mine.
After speaking with Captains Somers and Harat, the choices came down to rechristening the Flinton and Irvona as Adventure and Endeavour, respectively, names submitted by Mrs. Calinda and Mr. Feisle. There were other quite suitable names submitted, some the Self-Defense Force has requested be held for new defense vessels, and others that were kept aside for future scientific ships.
I feel it should also be noted that there were some.. less than stellar submissions made as well. Most were humorous, such as Magniloquence and Flibbertigibbet, both of which I commend for how out there they were. Others were somewhat concerning, and we'll be having conversations with the ones who submitted them.
Please remember that each member here is part of a group. Each of you is a shoulder to lean on for everyone else, and the administration is also always available should we be needed.
