'''HMS Claymore''' (CA-51) is a [[Broadsword-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] in the [[Eighth Fleet]]. ''Claymore'' claims [[wikipedia:Tucson, Arizona|Tucson, Arizona]] as her charter city, but claims the [[wikipedia:Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] East Valley and the southern half of the American state of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]] as its operating area.

==History==
''Claymore'' was first brought into commission on 29 July 2014 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]. ''Claymore'' claimed [[wikipedia:Tempe, Arizona|Tempe, Arizona]] as her charter city, but claimed the entire American state of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]] as its operating area. Her crew was formerly assigned to  {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}}  and upgraded to this new vessel.  She has participated in one [[Fleet event|Fleet Events]], [[LepreCon|LepreCon 2015]], before she was decommissioned on 27 April 2016 when the ship was upgraded again to {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), a [[Battlecruiser]] of the same name.

''Claymore'' was recommissioned on 22 April 2017 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, when the previous battlecruiser was split into two heavy cruisers to form a new division. Now based out of [[wikipedia:Tucson, Arizona|Tucson, Arizona]], it represents the majority of TRMN in [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]]. When [[BRGEN]] George Farmer was picked to command the RMMC Academy in mid-2018, he surrendered command of the [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] to [[CPL]] John Curtis.
