Action Stations continued...
I can't edit my previous post, so here's as much of the remaining Confed command personnel and Fleet composition as I can ascertain from Action Stations. As an addendum, Rear Admiral Dayan's first name is Naomi. Also, I was wondering about Vance Richard's reference (P.3) in the foreword to AS, where is he listed as retired. The foreword is undated, but is constructed to imply that it was written in the aftermath of WC4, with references to Tolwyn's court martial and suicide. The only problem being that Richards is killed in False Colors, which happens what, a year or so after WC3?
- Lieutenant Commander Valeri Olson, Concordia Watch Officer (2634)
- Captain Mifune, Concordia (2634)
- Captain Hans Kruger, Landreich Militia (2634)
Explicit promotions post-McAuliffe
- First Lieutenant Geoffrey Tolwyn
- Rear Admiral Winston Turner
Fleet Composition
- P.48 Vance Richards notes that "there's only six [Confed] carriers for this entire sector, nine for the entire fleet."
- Turner mentions on P.293 that "we've lost over eighty ships, the base... and at least two hundred thousand personnel." He also notes just before on P.292 that only three frigates, a couple of destroyers and one light cruiser managed to escape Alexandria station to rendezvous with Task Force 21.
Plan Orange Five
- Forward fleet deployment at McAuliffe to protect the outer worlds while limited strikes occur in Facin Sector.
- Operations in Facin sector implemented by elements of Task Force 23.
Known ships of 7th Fleet:
- TCS Antilles (unknown class/type)
- TCS Belarus, Battleship
- TCS Malta, Battleship
- At least two other, unnamed Battleships
- TCS Coral Sea, Carrier ("the fleet's heaviest carrier")
- TCS Concordia, Carrier
Known ships of Task Force 21:
- TCS Ark Royal, Carrier
- TCS Yorkshire, Battleship
- TCS North Carolina, Battleship
- Cruiser Squadron
- TCS Hermes, Frigate
- TCS Masada, Frigate
- Three other Frigates
Post McAuliffe
- P.342 mentions three other naval groups of indeterminate composition: Task Force 3, Task Force 19 and Task Force 42, but with Banbridge indicating that only three carriers are in active service 30 days after McAuliffe (plus Ark Royal, which is beginning a six-month overhaul), it could be that each task force is built around one of the remaining carriers.
