TO : Liberty Government | FROM : 46th Fleet

[The Republic Of Liberty]

Fleet Admiral James Horatio Creed;

The efforts the Forty-Sixth Fleet are doing to patrol Liberty and keep it safe from any hostile elements have not gone unseen within the Government. We trust that your training programs are on-par with the First and the Fifth Fleets and we can only hope that the Forty-Sixth follows their footsteps and matches their past successes both in times of war and in times of peace.

Now on to the matter at hand. Your request to obtain a Deimos-class Dreadnought from the Crayter Military has been reviewed, and many opinions have been given on the matter, resulting in the increased wait you had to go through for a response from us which I apologize for. We are aware that the Crayter Military are close allies to Liberty and that our Forces are being allowed unquestioned access to Coronado. We are also aware that the Crayter Military has a respect-worthy arsenal of ships with the Deimos and the Zephyr classes being the most iconic.

That being said, as the Forty-Sixth Fleet of the Liberty Navy you should be aware - and have already mentioned it - of the Atlantis-class, a venerable carrier-class warship outfitted with dozens of snubcraft-hangars and armed to the teeth by battleship armaments, aiming to match or even out-perform the Overlord in various scenarios. As you've mentioned already, the Deimos-class you will obtain will be working with the Atlantis-class warships that the Fleet already has, this raises the question of why the Forty-Sixth fleet requires access to a wider variety of heavy warships. The Government would like that question answered before moving on to a decision.

Finally, you mentioned a possible future purchase of two more Deimos-class Dreadnoughts. The Government wishes to know if those two extra Dreadnoughts have already been agreed to between the Forty-Sixth Fleet and the Crayter Military, or if this is an upcoming plan for the future.

With regards,

- Robert McKay, Secretary of Defense
