Esteemed Admiralty,

Our deployment to the Dublin reconquest was a moderate success. Early concerns regarding the deployment of the HMS-Hellbound due to its age and routine tasks solely including reserve activities were sadly proven right. On numerous occasions, we were forced into retreat by enemy assets and whilst we managed to contribute to the defense against the Mollys latest tactical move - the deployment of explosive filled Hegemon mining vessels - the mission to safeguard our beachhead assets can only be described as an utmost disaster. The Founder's Task Force is virtually gone and the Achilles Task Force suffered immense losses as well. The HMS-Hellbound took one too many beatings in the process and has been scheduled to enter Portsmouth Drydocks for quite some time later next week.

However, we must stress that we were able to consolidate a decent victory in this conflict. Our bold decision to aim with the Hellbound for the enemy reserve fleets a day prior, which saw us deploying to the battlefields with a mere token escort force in the form of a few Bounty Hunters, paid off. All but their heaviest reserve assets were severely damaged and we managed to vanquish all of their reserves nimble Gunboat escorts.

Conclusively, this campaign has proven me and my crew that the Hellbound is not up to the task and we hereby request our permanent relocation to northern New London and Leeds affairs. We hope the Admiralty can relocate more suitable forces in turn of our redeployment.

J. Harlington
