I thank you for my recent promotion to the ranks of BAF Auxiliary Fleet, but I'll have several requisition requests.

First and foremost - critical warship equipment.
Firstly - I want to officially request change of configuration for HMS Minotaur. I want to replace one cerberus-type turret by TL-12 Cryogenic 'Mortar' Antimatter Projector, along with its barbette and targeting equipment.
Reason: 01/05/828, during our engagement with Corsair warship, we lost one of our 'cerberus' turrets. It was later replaced by spare TL-12 Cryogenic Antimatter Projector, which gave us more tactical options, yet this modification was done in haste without proper shipyard equipment and its mount is not fully compatible with 'mortar' weapon system.
Secondly - I would like to replace our Grade-6 'Harvey' armor plating with any available Grade-8 armor plating.
Reason: While Grade-6 armor plating is acceptable, it's on the lower end and many of our foes have better armor plating than we do.

While HMS Minotaur was launched in fully combat capable state, some secondary and non-critical equipment was not available in sufficient quantities for the ship at the time of its launch.

I understand that Bretonia can't spend money on luxury at this moment, yet the missing equipment is mostly related to the quality of life of enlisted personel. They are mostly lacking sufficient number of laundry machines to keep their uniforms and clothing clean as requested, our vessel as lacks one third of its interior passage panels, so bulkheads and other equipment are exposed in crew areas. Not only it does not look well, but it's also safety and health hazard (tripping, noise levels).
We were also issued with station-type mk VI lockers, which are larger and take more space than standard-issue warship lockers type C, so we have fewer of them and the lower ranking crewmen has to share them. We also lack some furniture like tables and chairs, but these are the least important for now as we can solve it by other measures for the time being.

In short, by some mishaps in logistics, my crewmen are more stressed than usual when we are on active duty, which could lead to some morale issues later on, especially if we will have to rely on our own amenities for a longer period of time.

We will be glad for any allocation of resources in this matter, as it will give my crewmen hope, that their crew amenities will be fully operational and these conditions are only temporary.

I thank you, admiral. HMS Minotaur is already moored at Portsmouth Shipyard and awaits drydocking. According to the shipyard's office - armor and barbette replacements will take around two weeks. They'll also finish ship's interior and most of its amenities at the same time.

As such, HMS Minotaur will be unavailable for active duty until 21/05/828. I've signed few leave permits during the repairs, but most of my crew is ready to serve - on another vessel or dispersed through several vessels for training purposes, until our vessel is fully operational again.
