Brief history:

Furious's hull was laid in 818A.S, in response to increased aggression by Rheinland forces in central Liberty. Built upon the salvaged hull of the retired battle-cruiser Stockdon, Furious was finished and deemed combat-ready in record time, entering service in the early days of 819 A.S. The commissioning of Furious coincided with the disbandment of three divisions within the Liberty Air Force, and consequently several former Airmen and Women of the LAF's Bretonian Task Force, including Furious's first Commanding Officer, found themselves issued Navy uniforms and offered postings on board the freshly commissioned warship.

As a new vessel, Furious's combat record is sparse, with the vessel reporting occasional skirmishes against BDM incursions. However; her escort configuration could see the battle-cruiser reassigned to fleet duties in the future.

UPDATE (825A.S): Stress cracks noted in Furious' superstructure led to the ship's withdrawal from active service in late 819A.S. Engineering reports indicate the fractures were the result of poor integration of Stockdon's hull with the new Pegasus-type reactor utilized aboard Furious, leading to progressive damage during rapid maneuvering. CMDR Melanie Tyler retired shortly after the announcement, leaving the ship's decommissioning in the hands of LCDR Matthew Salvos. The ship was scrapped to provide repair components in early 820A.S.

A plaque in recognition of the warship's service was placed at the Liberty War Memorial by an assembly of former crewman in 821A.S.

Further notes:

The refitted hull has thus far shown no significant signs of operational stress, though sailors have already stigmatized the Battle-cruiser as a cursed ship due to the destruction of the Stockdon in 818A.S. It is expected that continued service will rectify this issue.

Cohesion issues between CMDR. (LN) Tyler and LCDR. (LN) Salvos reported. Marine contingent commander (MAJ. (LMC) Yami) has been made aware of actions on receiving conflicting orders. CMDR. (LN) Tyler has received personal brief from CAPT. (LN) Links. Further issues deemed unlikely.
