esteemed Minister,

As my commanding officer Lord Hamilton is currently inspecting the Norfolk and its surrounding area, it is my task to report our transports manned, armed and ready for duty. I have already ordered an extension of daily times of duty, so the crews are prepared for departure at any time. As we can not leave our boys on the ground defenseless, it is an honor for us to fulfill this task.

We are ready to roll as soon as you give the command, sir!

Regarding the high risk of this operation, I request additional backup escorts from other fleets.

Ryan O'Dukes
Captain
Bretonian Armed Forces
