HMS Unconquered (CL-16) is a light cruiser and the oldest active duty warship in the Royal Manticoran Navy.[1]. Her current commanding officer is ADM Lord Sir John Roberts, SC, KDE, Earl New Mecklenburg.
History
Commissioned in 1649 PD[1], Unconquered was first commanded by Edward Saganami; it was his first hyper-capable command. Unconquered's final commanding officer was Ellen D'Orville, followed by an order to transfer the ship to the reserve fleet for a century. She was scheduled for scrapping after her service, but was saved through a massive fundraising effort of the Royal Navy League to effect a repair and restoration project, preserving the ship back to her Saganami-era state. Once the project was completed, she had remained in a parking orbit above Manticore ever since.[2]
Shipboard Positions
After the Royal Navy League managed to rescue Unconquered from scrapping following reserve duty, it was determined that given the ship's illustrious history, it would be considered a high honor to be assigned as a member of her crew. Crewmembership did not require the honoree to physically crew the vessel; it was merely an additional billet afforded to the honoree through the use of an assignment tab placed above the honoree's actual assignment.
Within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc., worthy nominees are submitted to the Third Space Lord and considered by the Royal Council and Fleet Commanders for induction as members of the crew and/or appointment as her Commanding Officer. Crewmember appointments are for life, however, the appointment as Commanding Officer lasts for one year.[3] The transfer of command is typically announced at Honorcon in Autumn. Admiralty Order 1511-04 established the position of a "Permanent Commanding Officer" of Unconquered, above that of the Commanding Officer. The current and first Permanent CO is David Weber.[4]
