Continueing out theme of bad weeks…
Well, I delayed and delayed and then delayed even more but I had to make a decision. After talking to Mike Ballway over the past week, we have jointly decided that I needed to replace him as FComm and CO. He has been forced to take a LOA until June due to school commitments. That would make him absent from his ship and fleet for 94 days. Mike and I believe we shouldn?t and can?t do that to Fleet 2. So, it is with a heavy heart that I do the next two actions. Mike has been the Fleet Commander of Fleet Two since before I was born. His ship and fleet has been known for a long time as the ones who kept it fun. I can only hope those who I have chosen can keep that tradition alive.
Mike picked Christopher Ashley to replace him on the USS Constellation. I will honor his wishes. Effective immediately, Chris is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain and given the command of the Connie.
Mike Bourdaa is hereby given command of Fleet Two. His ship, the USS Brooklyn (Trafalgar class) will be transferred to fleet two effective Thursday at midnight. (EST) Also, the Brooklyn will change to the USS Curie, Darwin Class during the transfer.
At least F2 will always be commanded by a Mike B. ;-)
