History
Sidemore Station was established on 10 January, 2017 as part of an initiative to start several proto-stations outside of the continental US, in an effort to grow the organization.<ref name="ND17JA06">Naval Directive 17JA-06</ref> Upon establishment, the only vessel assigned to it in its initial iteration was the Falcon-class Destroyer {{#if:
|HMS Peregrine (DD-1291) |{{#if:DD-1291 |HMS Peregrine |HMS Peregrine
}}}}. However, this was soon joined by another Destroyer, this one the Wolfhound-class {{#if:hcn
|HMS Hellhound (DD-446) |{{#if:DD-446 |HMS Hellhound |HMS Hellhound
}}}}<ref name="BSD170501">BuShips Directive 1705-01</ref>; this chapter was soon thereafter upgraded to the Saganami-C-class {{#if:
|HMS Hawk (CA-428) |{{#if:CA-428 |HMS Hawk |HMS Hawk
}}}}.
Sidemore Station was decommissioned on 8 March, 2018, as a result of numerous factors, including the extreme distance between the two chapters.<ref name="ND18MAR03">Naval Directive 18MAR-03</ref>
In 2021, the situation had changed rather significantly: {{#if:
|HMS Peregrine (DD-1291) |{{#if:DD-1291 |HMS Peregrine |HMS Peregrine
}}}} recomissioned in Toronto, Ontario as of early October, 2020, putting it within two hours' drive of {{#if:
|HMS Hawk (CA-428) |{{#if:CA-428 |HMS Hawk |HMS Hawk
}}}}. Further, due to the events of 2020, remote activities became the primary method of interaction for the members of most chapters, but especially these two. As a result, Sidemore Station was reinstated so as to aid the administrative tasks in maintaining and growing this connection.<ref name="ND21JA02">Naval Directive 21JA-02</ref>
