My apologies for the long reply, Mr. Shimamori. I had to deal with an important matter related to my retirement. Suddenly, the end of the war did not end the disturbance within the Naval Forces but rather increased tensions.
You honoured me with your proposal to become a member of to Shimamori clan and I'm accepting your invitation. I had never dealt with or even seen the Date-class in action and this might be a unique experience for a starship Captain. Dealing with the flying museum has its dangers but there is nothing we can compensate with Kishiro involved in refitting the ship to modern technologies.
