LIBERTY NAVY PATROL REPORT
Lieutenant Darren Barnes
DEPARTMENT RECEIVING: LIBERTY NAVY PATROL ARCHIVE
-- Begin Report --
After the recent news of my promotion to Lieutenant at the usual promotion ceremony, I was more determined than ever to work for the Navy. I was glad to see that my efforts in our sectors hadn't gone unnoticed, especially in a time where the Liberty Navy is spread thinner and thinner, whilst the enemies of Liberty seem to be forever growing stronger. This did not phase me though, as I knew that we still had a good core and that would ensure the Navy wasn't going anywhere soon.
Another usual patrol route from Chadwick, not much out of the ordinary was expected as previous patrols had also turned up mostly empty handed. We began with a visit to the usual Norfolk Shipyard, before moving to West Point bordering the Badlands. We got news from West Point there were some minor reports of small convoys of hostiles operating in the area, towards the sun from West Point. I proceeded to take a flight out there to check it out, but this again turned out to be nothing more than erroneous reports. Likely from incorrect analysing by scanners on the station.
Disappointed, we moved onwards and encountered several freelancers making a stop off at Norfolk Shipyard. They appeared to be flying older vessels usually seen by Junkers, CSVs and the like, and I made routine contact with them to advise we were running some scans. They halted without issue, although did not openly respond to my acknowledgement. Nonetheless, they were deemed clear of any contraband and allowed to continue onto the Texas system unopposed. I've seen enough combat as part of the Navy these days to know when to enjoy a routine patrol when I get one, and sometimes doing the rounds and usual contraband scanning is a nice change of pace.
The return journey was slightly different. This time I wouldn't be headed back to Chadwick Station as usual and I would instead be taking up a home base at the Battleship Missouri. A minor adjustment to my duties, but I was happy to be away from the minefields for once, and being around some of the other Lieutenants who frequently based at Missouri could very well do myself some good. All in all, another patrol completed for the logbooks.
