Operational Status Update: - 27/04/836 A.S

White, reporting in regarding the ongoing operation Sartorial.

I volunteered myself for escort detail aboard the Defiant-class gunboat Cheyenne as I have already been standing in aboard this craft while my usual command, cruiser Oakland lays at Norfolk pending her refit.

Cheyenne successfully conducted ten crossings to Portsmouth shipyard escorting an armed merchant convoy from Norfolk consisting of three Longhorn class frigates. Including one of our own, LNS Iwo Jima and TFA LNS Sacramento. I will provide a summary of the key action points within the operation thus far:

We encountered three documented hostiles, including one Lane Hacker also at the helm at a Longhorn class frigate, a Molly Gunboat and an unknown affiliated vessel.

The Hacker was unfortunate enough to get close enough to our own frigates and was resultingly disabled in the exchange. Cheyenne initially sent a volley of gunfire in the direction of the hostile track, however the Task Force Akhetaten frigate answered the threat sufficiently so our assistance was not required.

As for the Molly gunboat, we positioned Cheyenne as bait in the middle of the formation to distract while the convoy made its exit, to which Cheyenne then withdrew without firing a shot amidst the confusion. No shots fired, no damage sustained.

We classified the final contact as a Defiant class, unusually. However its communication was limited and aggressive with a scuffed transponder. Cheyenne prosecuted this target with remarkable efficiency and the convoy was able to get clear without damage. We suffered superficial damage in the exchange, however Cheyenne was able to proceed to Norfolk after under her own power.

We're awaiting a final inspection being carried out from repairs and then I intend to head back out to resume escorting convoys. I have not included any recordings in this particular report.

Contacts Summary:

• Ceoladh - Molly Gunboat
  
• );--Deedoss - Longhorn class Liberty Heavy Frigate (Disabled)
  
• Lame Hock - Defiant class Gunboat (Disabled)
