NOTES:

1. The subject line erroneously identifies BatCruRon 21 as BatCruDiv 21. This error appears in the text as published on TRMN.org and is therefore reproduced here.
2. Though the text of the order does not specifically state that it supersedes Naval Directive 12AP-03, it effectively does so by stating that CruDiv 211 is replaced by/renamed to BatCruDiv 211.
