HMS Cerberus (CLAC-42) was a Hydra-class LAC Carrier within Third Fleet. Commanded by CAPTJG Sir Andrew Martin, Cerberus claimed Chesapeake, VA as her charter city.
History
HMS Cerberus first commissioned in Tenth Fleet, under the command of Captain of the List James Jones, out of Ceres, California.[1] Command shifted to Captain of the List Katherine Texeira in October of that year, though the patrol area remained the same.[2]
Cerberus was attached to TG 91.1 in June of 2015[3]; this proved to be a most auspicious move, as they were subsequently awarded the RMU. However, subsequent to the crew's merger with HMS Wolf to launch HMS Thunderer[4], HMS Cerberus was returned to the Active Reserve and therefore removed from the task group.[5]
Cerberus recommissioned in Third Fleet in March of 2017, under command of Captain (JG) Sir Andrew Martin as part of an upgrade from HMS Beowulf (BC-739).[6] However, after three years, this vessel was returned once more to the Active Reserve in March of 2020.[7]
Having attended FleetEx OryCon 37, FleetEx FresCon 2016, and FleetEx NorWesCon 39 among others, HMS Cerberus has a history of giving a good showing for TRMN at conventions.
