First, I would like to apologize for my lack of reports, I've already informed Commandant Warner of what happened, so I feel no need to re-iterate. I'd like to thank the Coalition for awarding me a promotion to Commander and assigning me the Trotsky. A fine vessel, it has a lot of memories for me as well. It was the ship that was present during the incident that lead to my joining the Coalition, and it is the ship that I answered questions that decided my future. To commemorate my new assignment, I saw fit to launch for Dublin with an escort of Fighters and Bombers. We proceeded to Dublin where we found a sell-sword Gunboat. Comrade Captain Alvarez ordered it's destruction, to which the gunnery crews happily obliged. Next, we encountered a swarm of Indians. The Trotsky was attacked, and had to retreat, but it survived. Following that incident and after the Trotsky had a few dents fixed, myself and Ethan Scott decided to take our respective commands for a hit and run. The Trotsky and International moved into Hamburg where we had received a tip about a Rheinland Cruiser. The International went ahead and lured the Cruiser out into the open, thinking it had only the International to worry about, the Cruiser attacked. Little did it know that the Trotsky was bearing down from above. Mortar after Mortar connected, leaving the Cruiser heavily damaged. More Mortars followed and together the Trotsky and International overwhelmed the Rheinlander. The Trotsky suffered not a scratch and the International suffered only moderate shield damage. A complete victory. Following the raid, we returned home as our scanners detected several vessels bearing down on us. We returned home safely.
