HMS Medusa (SD-316) is a Medusa-class Pod-laying Superdreadnought within Battle Division 201 of Battle Squadron 2. Commanded by CAPTJG Erik Roberts, QBM, Medusa claims San Francisco, California as her charter city. Medusa is the lead ship of her class and serves as the Flagship of Tenth Fleet. She has the distinction of being the first superdreadnought to serve within that fleet.

History

Medusa was commissioned on 14 November 2015 by order of BuShips, under the command of CDRE Michael Garcia. Her crew originally commissioned HMS Artemis in April of 2014 and had upgraded to this new vessel. After commissioning, she was immediately assigned to Task Group 91.1's command, and Countess Fontana Flats transferred her flag aboard, making Medusa the Fleet Flagship. She participated in several Fleet Events, including OryCon 37, FresCon 2015, and NorWesCon 39.

In late February, CDRE Garcia stepped down as commanding officer and was relieved by CAPTJG Erik Roberts. Medusa formed Battle Division 201 with HMS Intractable in September, as part of Battle Squadron 2. Medusa serves as the divisional flagship.
