Request Form: Officers Name: Seth Doyle Officers Rank: Lieutenant Requested Vessel: LI-117 "Upholder" class Liberty Bomber Reason for Request: It was one of the bomber-class vessels I took my training. I find it a faster, lighter, more agile bomber and i've the capability of dealing with enemy smaller crafts in the "Upholder" over the "Challenger". Exception Approved By: (If Applicable):
Your request for use of the Upholder Bomber is granted. We only have access to a limited number, though it would seem that the Challenger is a far more popular option.

With the achievement of Cortez with us, our forces can once more focus on the main warfront in New London. After my orders to assist in Cortez, I have been authorized by Commodore Redmond to reengage operations past the warfront in Leeds and beyond to survey and disrupt.
I come today with a request. I understand it is a risk and wager, but I believe it is time to invest more heavily into attacking the Gallic threat from more than just the warfront in New London. I'd like to propose the launch of a a full strike force, with an Invincible-class carrier at it's head to coordinate fighter and bomber strikes into the heart of the supply lines. Supporting it would be the Kippax, the Shockoe, and the Garforth which are already operating in the area with limited fighter support. As these vessels are currently under my command, I would be moving the operational head to the Invincible. With this request I'd like to formalize the strike force in Leeds as well seeing as it will reach a sizable, yet slim, force.
I understand this is a demanding request, but I believe my track record can vouch that it would not go to waste.
Attached is the official request log, and a formal documentation will be at your offices shortly if it hasn't arrived already.
While the contents of your mission are not for me to say, I have received permission to approve this request and allow it to be fulfilled. Contact your superior about it's use.

Greetings, gentlemen! And Half-Admiral... *nods with fear*
At my long deserved vacation to Gran Canaria I had rather unusual experiences. Well, first one would be winter came a bit earlier. And next one... My... My... Local frozen beach ship dealer persuaded me to test a ship they produce at Gran Canaria. I guess it's some local technology mix of Zoner, Coalition and Corsair stuff. However, it features sturdy design, good agility, slim profile, very strong power core and... most important: it can use both Cruise Disruptor and Fighter Torpedo slots. Ship was equipped with 5 (five!) Debilitators, Mini-Razor, Train CD, Nuclear mines Launcher and so on... Ship's model is named Type-XV "Jackdaw". It probably was a secret Corsair project, as I never heard about it before. Maybe it's advanced Gladiator for their Zoner allies. However, that shipyard that makes it is in our hands now.
I moved my vacation on hold and tested it on a local mission against Molly gunboats. That ship was able to do deshielding, make damage and sustain heavy anti-snub fire. I also got intercepted by Corsair patrol and look what happened with them:
Report of ship tests as follows. Attaching it with my Requisition form.
Officers Name: George George Teeze
Officers Rank: Flight Officer
Requested Vessel: Type-XV "Jackdaw"
Reason for Request: Excellent performance in deshielding and razoring for:
- covering Merchant Navy convoys against bombers and other transports
- swarming against anti-snub capital ships
- removing Gallic bombers from New London skyes
- supporting our Forces fighter wings by deshielding agile enemy ships

Facing ever stretching resources, and with an asset under our nose, I have taken it upon myself to do the following;
Requisition some of our Steelhead Core Bomber stock and commissioning a wing of bombers for special assignments.
The lighter and more maneuverable bomber will make a fine patrol craft for the Omegas, and can be used as a mobile hit and run force on the 'front' and 'back' of this war, should the need arise.
I hope you requisition boys see fit to accept my request, as we are in our hour of need, and need all we can get.
Regards,
Commodore John Redmond
Carrier Venerable, Stirling Battlegroup

Impressive work Mr Teeze, moreso after a period of little flight practice. Your request is approved. We would be interested in further reports about the ships capabilities to assert whether the aquisition of more units should be considered.
Commodore John Redmond
The need for hit and run tactics in the Omega theater is apparent and we agree that the Steelhead should fit the bill well. Your request is approved. Five ships will be read for combat within two days. Should they perform well more can be supplied at a later time.
