-Was released from sick bay after a week of recovery from a run-in I had with PROSPECTOR, Xeno warlord...
-Today flew with LSF Mike Edwards, bomber pilot
-Upon setting of for my patrol run, officer Edwards contacted me to act as back up. Hostile was identified as a Liberty Rogue GB sporting Lane Hacker codes.
-Due to the limited capability of the navy issue Guardian VHF against capital class ship, I was forced to once again bring out my old gunboat. Target was disposed of appropriately...
-Within minutes of dispatching the 1st hostile, long range scanners picked up Outcast signature destroyer within the system. Sure enough, it was an OC destroyer...
-Luckily for us, we engaged the hostile within firing range of the BS Missouri and was able to reduce the destroyer into scrap...
-The LNS-Corregidor is docked at Norfolk for maintenance and repair...

Subject: Request Permission for Capital Ship
Sirs,
Over the past few months of service I have been re-familiarizing myself with Navy practices and laying low since I'm starting once again from the bottom. The experience is humbling, the skill level of the pilots we now are the best bunch I have ever had the pleasure of flying with. However, I have also noticed the increase in unlawful activity within our ZOI. This really isn't a problem since I know the pilots' skills are more than enough to handle 1 hostile. What bothers me is that the hostiles we encounter now pack more fire power than we do. Sure, fighter wise, we have the upper hand, but it really isn't fun to get swatted down like a fly when facing capital ships. As a result, I would like to request permission for 2 things; first, I would like to request permission to fly my GB during regular patrols in order to compensate for the lack of firepower. and secondly, if I may be granted to fund an SA tagged cruiser and/or carrier for dealing with threats like multiple gunboats, cruisers, and foreign battleships. If it helps ease your mind about giving me a capital ship, you may look at my previous combat record. Modesty aside, my skills in the LNS-Dallas cruiser were top notch fully utilizing the forward gun against its favorite prey, OC destroyers. Also, the old LNS-Las_Vegas was the most feared ship in Liberty, it was a carrier sporting nothing less than a MK8 capital armor upgrade. An upgrade which I bought twice. Ultimately, this decision is in you hands. If approved, I honestly believe we can reduce the crime rate merely by intimidation and avoid losses of equipment and lives of our people. if hostiles do engage us, I will more than guarantee that the will get fragged...
