I'm more than aware of our new addition to the California blockade. Truthfully, I'm more than thankful that the First Fleet has taken up guard at California Minor, as it gives my men more breathing room should another incursion take place.

Considering the Third Fleet itself is constructing a shipyard in orbit of Los Angeles, we have a fairly large garrison in place at the planet. The entirety of Battlegroup Montana, commanded by our own Commodore Bixly, has been in place to keep the planet and everything west of it guarded, and Battlegroup Enterprise is being kept on guard in the event that Montana suffers casualties. Rest assured, we're more than prepared to keep our holdings secured, and once Pearl Harbor is underway, we'll be even more dug into the area. As insurance, I'm also going to have Battlegroup Omaha, commanded by Commodore Bradley, to be stationed near Riverside to act as buffer if one side should fall.

The Third Fleet isn't leaving California anytime soon, Commodore. I'm sure the Police and LSF are more than prepared to keep Los Angeles from falling, as well as yourself.

Stay safe out there, Commodore. Make Liberty proud.

As it stands right now, no. The shipyard is still undergoing planning, but from the report by Commodore Hayes, the construction should begin soon. I predict within the end of the month thst construction will begin, and should all go well, she will be fully constructed by mid-late January. While it's not hasty, it's still much faster than Norfolk took, and with the same capabilities.

However, I remain confident in our warships over a station designed to merely fairy them to battle. Hope this helps.
