As of the publication of this Admiralty Order, the following changes are implemented to the following Awards:
This Admiralty Order officially replaces 1102-13.


'''HMS Unconquered Crew'''
This is a list, by Type, of the composition of the various Commands in the RMN; this information is expressed as the minimum number of crew and officers for each ship type as well as the maximum size for each ship type based upon Honorverse Canon for that type.


Issued in recognition of outstanding service to the RMN or RMMC.
Please note, as a chapter grows above the minimums for each type of ship, they may commission additional officers so long as the proper ratio of officer to enlisted is maintained for that ship. The RMN hereby establishes the officer to enlisted ratio as 1 officer for every 4 enlisted members (20 % officers).


Honorees will be assigned to the crew of the HMS Unconquered in orbit around Manticore. While only a ceremonial post, it is a great honor to be selected to serve as crew for this honored and distinguished vessel. Crew members of HMS Unconquered can be of any rank and are assigned as permanent crew for this honored vessel. They can choose to have this duty station reflected on their ID Card instead of their normal Chapter. HMS Unconquered Crew are also entitled to wear the HMS Unconquered horseshoe above their ship/duty station patch on their uniforms.
It is known that virtually all ships will have a higher ratio at Commissioning than the 20% maximum, this is allowable as minimum requirements for the type must be met. However, as a chapter grows larger, it must adhere to the 20% ratio for all growth above minimum numbers. For example, a Light Cruiser Commissions with minimum numbers (3 officers and 5 crew) and has an amazingly successful recruitment event at a local convention; they can then commission additional officers as long as they stay within the ration (if they grow to 20 crew members, they could commission an additional officer).


Nomination to the Crew of the HMS Unconquered shall be by your Commanding Officer or above only. The nomination must demonstrate a high quality and level of service to the Organization as a whole. Just performing your normal Chapter duties would not qualify you for this award.

'''Permanent Captain of HMS Unconquered'''
Marines and Flag Officers who are embarked on local chapters do not count as officers for purposes of the ratio (or minimum officer requirements), but will count as members of the crew for minimum chapter size.

With the issuance of this Admiralty order, the first Permanent Captain of HMS Unconquered shall be [[Fleet Admiral]] [[David Weber]].
A Pinnace, once formed, has 12 months to increase its membership to the size of a LAC. If they have not accomplished this in 12 months, an automatic 6 month extension will be granted. After this, they may apply for ONE more 6 month extension on an as needed basis (this extension must be approved by your Fleet Command AND by BuShips). We fully understand that geography will play a part in the ability to get crews, so we accept that in some cases, a full 24 months may be needed.

Order Text

To: All Officers, Enlisted and Civilians in The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc.
From: Martin Lessem, KSK, GCE, KCR, DSO, GS, First Lord of the Admiralty, Admiral of the Fleet, Duke, New Scania
Re: Command Composition - Updated (Admiralty Order 1511-02)


This Admiralty Order officially replaces 1102-13.

This is a list, by Type, of the composition of the various Commands in the RMN; this information is expressed as the minimum number of crew and officers for each ship type as well as the maximum size for each ship type based upon Honorverse Canon for that type.

Please note, as a chapter grows above the minimums for each type of ship, they may commission additional officers so long as the proper ratio of officer to enlisted is maintained for that ship. The RMN hereby establishes the officer to enlisted ratio as 1 officer for every 4 enlisted members (20 % officers).

It is known that virtually all ships will have a higher ratio at Commissioning than the 20% maximum, this is allowable as minimum requirements for the type must be met. However, as a chapter grows larger, it must adhere to the 20% ratio for all growth above minimum numbers. For example, a Light Cruiser Commissions with minimum numbers (3 officers and 5 crew) and has an amazingly successful recruitment event at a local convention; they can then commission additional officers as long as they stay within the ration (if they grow to 20 crew members, they could commission an additional officer).

CMD TYPE MINIMUM CMD COMP MAX CMD COMP

COMMAND TYPE MINIMUM COMMAND
COMPOSITION		 MAXIMUM COMMAND
COMPOSITION		 PINNACES
Pinnace 2-3 (1 Officer) 3-5 None
Light Assault Craft (LAC) 3 (2 Officers) 25 None
Destroyer (DD) 6 (2 Officers) 357 One
Light Cruiser (CL) 8 (3 Officers) 350 Two
Heavy Cruiser (CA) 10 (3 Officers) 535 Three
Battlecruiser (BC) 12 (4 Officers) 1,516 Three
Battlecruiser-Pods (BC-P) 12 (3 Officers) 600 Three
Dreadnought (DN) 16 (5 Officers) 2,566 Four

Superdreadnought-Pods (SD-P) 20 (5 Officers) 4,592 Four
LAC Carrier (CLAC) 15 (5 Officers) 3,000 Five

Marines and Flag Officers who are embarked on local chapters do not count as officers for purposes of the ratio (or minimum officer requirements), but will count as members of the crew for minimum chapter size.

Civilians and RMA personnel may be attached to a local RMN, GSN, IAN, RHN or other Allied naval ship, but do not count for purposes of minimum crew size, minimum officers or for the officer ratio calculations. All RMA and Civilian personnel are consider to be supernumerary crew for all purposes and do not count for official chapter size calculations.

A Pinnace, once formed, has 12 months to increase its membership to the size of a LAC. If they have not accomplished this in 12 months, an automatic 6 month extension will be granted. After this, they may apply for ONE more 6 month extension on an as needed basis (this extension must be approved by your Fleet Command AND by BuShips). We fully understand that geography will play a part in the ability to get crews, so we accept that in some cases, a full 24 months may be needed.
