Congratulations on both your promotion and the commissioning of the LNS-Vahalla. You have never disappointed me in the past and your future looks bright. As to orders, my suggestion is to complete your shakedown and commence patrol rotation. As your rank implies, circumstances are yours to mold. Your experience and judgement are never indoubt. keep me and DOD apprised of your achievements. I look forward to them as I try to cut through the bloody paperwork. It truly lessens the monotony of the Admiralty.
