The [[Tenth Fleet]] is one of the numbered [[fleet]]s within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[RADM]] [[Sir]] Drakkus Heath [[RMN]], this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Alaska|Alaska]], [[wikipedia:California|California]], [[wikipedia:Idaho|Idaho]], [[wikipedia:Hawai'i|Hawai'i]], [[wikipedia:Oregon|Oregon]], [[wikipedia:Nevada|Nevada]], and [[wikipedia:Washington|Washington]] as well as the [[wikipedia:Dominion of Canada|Canadian provinces]] of [[wikipedia:British Columbia|British Columbia]] and the [[wikipedia:Yukon Territory|Yukon Territory]].

==History==
The Tenth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to then-[[RADM]] Chrissy Killian to assume command of the fleet. The very first vessel to form within the fleet was the lead ship of the [[Roland-class destroyer|Roland-class]], [[HMS Roland (DD-476)|HMS ''Roland'']], in May of 2012, based in the city of San Jose, California, under the command of then-[[LCDR]] Jack Yeager. Two months later, the [[Nike-class battlecruiser|Nike-class]] [[battlecruiser]] [[HMS Truculent (BC-571)|HMS ''Truculent'']] formed in Seattle, WA, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Timothy Monk. The [[LAC]] ''[[HMLAC Grimalkin (LAC-002)|Grimalkin]]'' formed in the Los Angeles area in September of 2012, under the command of then-[[LTSG]] Christopher Beilby.  ''Grimalkin'' would upgrade to the [[Roland-class destroyer|Roland-class]] [[destroyer]] [[HMS Bedivere (DD-486)|HMS ''Bedivere'']], the following year, and then again to the famous [[Star Knight-class heavy cruiser|Star Knight-class]] [[heavy cruiser]] [[HMS Merlin (CA-270)|HMS ''Merlin'']].

Two months later, the [[Nike-class]] [[battlecruiser]] {{hms|Truculent|BC-593}} formed in Seattle, WA, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Timothy Monk. ''Grimalkin'' would upgrade to the [[Roland-class]] [[destroyer]] {{hms|Bedivere|DD-486}}, the following year, and then again to the famous [[Star Knight-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] {{hms|Merlin|CA-270}}.


With those three vessels operating and growing their crews, the fleet remained in that configuration until the fleet saw a major growth spurt beginning on April 15, 2014, when the Nike-class [[HMS Artemis (BC-592)|HMS ''Artemis'']] formed in San Francisco, California, under the command of [[CAPTSG]] [[Sir]] Thomas Marrone, [[KR]]. In Oregon, the [[Agamemnon-class battlecruiser]] [[HMS Black Rose (BC-520)|HMS ''Black Rose'']] commissioned on April 19th at NorWesCon, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] James Sena. Shortly afterwards during BayCon 2014 on Memorial Day Weekend, [[HMS Wolf (CA-429)|HMS ''Wolf'']] formed in the California Central Valley, under the command of then-[[CAPTJG]] James Jones. Less than a month later, [[Task Group 91.1]] was formed under the command of Sir Thomas, with ''Artemis'' as his flagship.

''Black Rose'' and ''Truculent'''s efforts led to major growth in the Pacific Northwest, with [[HMS Andromeda (BC-571)|HMS ''Andromeda'']] (Everett, WA) and [[HMS Helen (BC-570)|HMS ''Helen'']] (Hillsboro, OR) commissioning in October. These two new [[battlecruiser|battlecruisers]] helped to form [[Battlecruiser Squadron 96]] as a result, with ''Black Rose'' and ''Helen'' forming one division (BatCruDiv 961), while ''Truculent'' and ''Andromeda'' formed the other (BatCruDiv 962).

2015 has seen more expansion, especially with the first vessel to launch in [[British Columbia]] during February, [[HMS Callisto (BC-722)|HMS ''Callisto'']] under the command of [[CAPT]] Jenni Merrifield, [[GSN]]. ''Callisto'' joined BatCruDiv 962 upon commissioning. BayCon saw another vessel launching in May, with the first [[CLAC]] in Tenth Fleet to form, [[HMS Cerberus (CLAC-42)|HMS ''Cerberus'']], under Captain Jones' command, spinning off from his former command, ''Wolf''. In June, the [[Kamerling-class light cruiser|Kamerling-class]] [[light cruiser]] [[HMS Earsidh Kamerling (CL-717)|HMS ''Earsidh Kamerling'']] launched in southeastern Washington under the command of [[CDR]] Terry Banta, and joined BatCruDiv 961 as a screening element. The following month, [[HMLAC Cochrane (LAC-010)|HMLAC ''Cochrane'']] launched in San Diego under the command of [[LTJG]] Thomas Grellner, joining Task Group 91.1. ''Grimalkin'' rejoined Tenth Fleet under the command of [[LTSG]] Tim Simpson, patrolling San Diego.

In November, ''Artemis'' upgraded to [[HMS Medusa (SD-316)|HMS ''Medusa'']] and became the flagship of Tenth Fleet after Admiral Killian transferred her flag aboard. Later that month, {{hms|Seljuk|SD-903}} and [[GNS Madrigal (BC-13)|GNS ''Madrigal'']] commissioned at OryCon 37 in Portland, while ''Merlin'' and ''Grimalkin'' upgraded to ''Artemis'' and ''Bedivere'', respectively.
In November, ''Artemis'' upgraded to {{hms|Medusa|SD-316}} under the command of [[CDRE]] Michael Garcia, becoming the very first [[superdreadnought]] in the fleet, and became the flagship of Tenth Fleet after Admiral [[Fontana Flats]] transferred her flag aboard. Later that month, {{rhns|Seljuk|SD-903}} and {{gns|Madrigal|BC-13}} commissioned at OryCon 37 in Portland, while ''Merlin'' and ''Grimalkin'' upgraded to ''Artemis'' and ''Bedivere'', respectively.
 
BatCruDiv963 formed in 2016, under the command of ''Madrigal'' 's commanding officer, [[CAPT]] Robert Demkiw, GSN. ''Medusa'' launched a pinnace in preparation for a new destroyer in Sacramento (HM Pinnace ''Medusa''-01). {{hms|Hellhound|DD-446}} was the first ship to be commissioned in 2016, under the command of [[LCDR]] Sir Mark Gledhill, [[KE]], expanding the British Columbia presence from two ships to three. {{hms|Chainshot|DD-372}} commissioned at BayCon 2016, under the command of then-[[CDR]] Sir Joseph Harney, [[KCE]], returning ''Medusa'''s pinnace back to the boat bay. In June, ''Hellhound'' joined BatCruDiv963, while ''Roland'' and ''Chainshot'' formed DesDiv231, under the command of [[CDR]] Jack Yeager. ''Wolf'' and ''Cerberus'' merged to form {{hms|Thunderer|SD-323}} in July, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Sonja Thiede. {{gns|Randolph Candless|BC-56}} commissioned in early August under the command of [[CAPT]] Aaron Davis, [[GSN]]. ''Artemis'' and ''Randolph Candless'' formed BatCruDiv 921 under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Beilby. During August, ''Roland'' and ''Chainshot'' upgraded to Superdreadnoughts, commissioning {{hms|Intractable|SD-459}} and {{hms|Revenge|SD-317}}, respectively.
 
[[Battle Squadron 2]] formed in early September 2016, under the command of [[CDRE]] Sir Joseph Harney, with subordinate echelon forces in Battle Division 201 (''Medusa'' and ''Intractable'') and Battle Division 202 (''Thunderer'' and ''Revenge''). Later that month, ''Madrigal'' and ''Hellhound'' upgraded to the Superdreadnought {{gns|Jason Mueller|SD-36}} and Light Cruiser {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}}, respectively. As a result, BatCruDiv 963 was dissolved, and both vessels along with ''Callisto'' were placed on detached duty within Tenth Fleet.

The Tenth Fleet is one of the numbered fleets within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc.. Commanded by RADM Sir Drakkus Heath RMN, this fleet's area of operations includes the American states of Alaska, California, Idaho, Hawai'i, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington as well as the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.

History

The Tenth Fleet was established in 2011 with the Naval Directive 11FB-07 from the First Space Lord, FADM Lord Sir Scott Akers, to then-RADM Chrissy Killian to assume command of the fleet. HMLAC Grimalkin formed in the Los Angeles area in February of 2012, under the command of then-LTSG Christopher Beilby. The very first hyper-capable vessel to commission within the fleet was the lead ship of the Roland-class, HMS Roland, in May of 2012, based in the city of San Jose, California, under the command of then-LCDR Jack Yeager. Two months later, the Nike-class battlecruiser HMS Truculent formed in Seattle, WA, under the command of CAPTJG Timothy Monk. Grimalkin would upgrade to the Roland-class destroyer HMS Bedivere, the following year, and then again to the famous Star Knight-class Heavy Cruiser HMS Merlin.

With those three vessels operating and growing their crews, the fleet remained in that configuration until the fleet saw a major growth spurt beginning on April 15, 2014, when the Nike-class HMS Artemis formed in San Francisco, California, under the command of CAPTSG Sir Thomas Marrone, KR. In Oregon, the Agamemnon-class battlecruiser HMS Black Rose commissioned on April 19th at NorWesCon, under the command of CAPTJG James Sena. Shortly afterwards during BayCon 2014 on Memorial Day Weekend, HMS Wolf formed in the California Central Valley, under the command of then-CAPTJG James Jones. Less than a month later, Task Group 91.1 was formed under the command of Sir Thomas, with Artemis as his flagship.

Black Rose and Truculent's efforts led to major growth in the Pacific Northwest, with HMS Andromeda (Everett, WA) and HMS Helen (Hillsboro, OR) commissioning in October. These two new battlecruisers helped to form Battlecruiser Squadron 96 as a result, with Black Rose and Helen forming one division (BatCruDiv 961), while Truculent and Andromeda formed the other (BatCruDiv 962).

2015 has seen more expansion, especially with the first vessel to launch in British Columbia during February, HMS Callisto under the command of CAPT Jenni Merrifield, GSN. Callisto joined BatCruDiv 962 upon commissioning. BayCon saw another vessel launching in May, with the first LAC Carrier in Tenth Fleet to form, HMS Cerberus, under Captain Jones' command, spinning off from his former command, Wolf. In June, the Kamerling-class Light Cruiser HMS Eardsidh Kamerling launched in southeastern Washington under the command of CDR Terry Banta, and joined BatCruDiv 961 as a screening element. The following month, HMLAC Cochrane launched in San Diego under the command of LTJG Thomas Grellner, joining Task Group 91.1. Grimalkin rejoined Tenth Fleet under the command of LTSG Tim Simpson, patrolling San Diego.

In November, Artemis upgraded to HMS Medusa under the command of CDRE Michael Garcia, becoming the very first superdreadnought in the fleet, and became the flagship of Tenth Fleet after Admiral Fontana Flats transferred her flag aboard. Later that month, RHNS Seljuk and GNS Madrigal commissioned at OryCon 37 in Portland, while Merlin and Grimalkin upgraded to Artemis and Bedivere, respectively.

BatCruDiv963 formed in 2016, under the command of Madrigal 's commanding officer, CAPT Robert Demkiw, GSN. Medusa launched a pinnace in preparation for a new destroyer in Sacramento (HM Pinnace Medusa-01). HMS Hellhound was the first ship to be commissioned in 2016, under the command of LCDR Sir Mark Gledhill, KE, expanding the British Columbia presence from two ships to three. HMS Chainshot commissioned at BayCon 2016, under the command of then-CDR Sir Joseph Harney, KCE, returning Medusa's pinnace back to the boat bay. In June, Hellhound joined BatCruDiv963, while Roland and Chainshot formed DesDiv231, under the command of CDR Jack Yeager. Wolf and Cerberus merged to form HMS Thunderer in July, under the command of CAPTJG Sonja Thiede. GNS Randolph Candless commissioned in early August under the command of CAPT Aaron Davis, GSN. Artemis and Randolph Candless formed BatCruDiv 921 under the command of CAPTSG Beilby. During August, Roland and Chainshot upgraded to Superdreadnoughts, commissioning HMS Intractable and HMS Revenge, respectively.

Battle Squadron 2 formed in early September 2016, under the command of CDRE Sir Joseph Harney, with subordinate echelon forces in Battle Division 201 (Medusa and Intractable) and Battle Division 202 (Thunderer and Revenge). Later that month, Madrigal and Hellhound upgraded to the Superdreadnought GNS Jason Mueller and Light Cruiser HMS Avalon, respectively. As a result, BatCruDiv 963 was dissolved, and both vessels along with Callisto were placed on detached duty within Tenth Fleet.
