Esteemed allies,

While the Crayter Republic has been changing its stance towards the Liberty Insurgency by only allowing refugee ships to reach Yuma, a move which we greatly respect and hope will bring even more significant changes, our military is in need of upgrade and among other matters, the reactivation of several older vessels that, we hope, will once again signify the joint Bretonia - Liberty military collaboration towards maintaining peace in the sector and ensuring that neither the House of Kusari nor Rheinland are able to match our technology.

To that end, I set forth my request that Liberty Navy engineers will be able to retrofit the following capital ships, as well as a request to yours truly for permission to operate such vessels as a sign of cooperation between Bretonia and Liberty:

• HMS Valiant - "Atlantis"-class Carrier
  
• HMS Iowa - "Overlord"-class Dreadnought
  
• HMS Holmfirth & HMS Midland - "Archer"-class Siege Cruisers

In return, the Kingdom of Bretonia can agree to either transfer an equal amount of capital ships to the Liberty Navy, or to purchase them with the newest possible upgrades and modifications, thus allowing faster redeployments, interception maneuvers, etc.

Please let us know what your thoughts on this matter are. Our Armed Forces are ready for greater cooperation between the Houses.

Harold Sommerville
Fleet Admiral
