}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties. We also lost the Reliant and Enterprise, with that BatCruDiv being dissolved.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was penalized by JAG. So instead, it was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

CruDiv 815 was dissolved on 13 January 2018, since the division was too spread out to manuever effectively, and Captain Naron was unable to have a divisional command in addition to his BuTrain duties.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}. Meanwhile, Bill Knight began a fundraiser effort throughout the fleet for one of their members, Midshipman Elijah Dimas, who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease and died on 10 January 2018, promoting him to [[ENS|Ensign]] before his death.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-51}}.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-51}}.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017. This created CruDiv815 under the command of Captain Naron.

Due to a political conflict between members of the Enterprise, members in Colorado Springs, CO decided to form their own chapter. However, because it wasn't done in the proper manner, the incipient chapter was was launched as Pinnance Claymore-01 on 4 June 2017 eventually becoming the {{hms|Wolf|CA-51}}.

Commanded by [[ADM]] Robert Bulkeley, from his flagship {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017.

'''HMS Claymore''' (CA-51) is a [[Broadsword-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] in the [[Eighth Fleet]]. ''Claymore'' claims [[wikipedia:Tuscon, Arizona|Tucson, Arizona]] as her charter city, but claims the [[wikipedia:Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] East Valley and the southern half of the American state of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]] as its operating area.

==History==
''Claymore'' was first brought into commission on 29 July 2014 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]. ''Claymore'' claimed [[wikipedia:Tempe, Arizona|Tempe, Arizona]] as her charter city, but claimed the entire American state of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]] as its operating area. Her crew was formerly assigned to {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} and upgraded to this new vessel. She has participated in one [[Fleet event|Fleet Events]], [[LepreCon 2015]], before she was decommissioned on 27 April 2016 when the ship was upgraded again to {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), a [[Battlecruiser]] of the same name.

''Claymore'' was recommissioned on 22 April 2017 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, when the previous battlecruiser was split into two heavy cruisers to form a new division. Now based out of [[wikipedia:Tucson, Arizona|Tucson, Arizona]], it represents the majority of TRMN in [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]]. When [[BRGEN]] George Farmer was picked to command the RMMC Academy in mid-2018, he surrendered command of the [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] to [[CPL]] John Curtis.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[RADM]] Eddy Roberts, from his flagship {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]], and the [[wikipedia:Canada|Canadian provinces]] of [[wikipedia:Alberta|Alberta]], and [[wikipedia:Saskatchewan|Saskatchewan]], and [[wikipedia:Manitoba|Manitoba]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[RADM]] Eddy Roberts, from his flagship {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]], and the [[wikipedia:Canada|Canadian provinces]] of [[wikipedia:Alberta|Alberta]], and [[wikipedia:Saskatchewan|Saskatchewan]], and [[wikipedia:Manitoba|Manitoba]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017.

[[File:mj_pic.jpg|200px|right]]'''[[CDRE]] Marcus Johnston, [[OC]], [[CGM]]''' is the deputy commanding officer of [[8th Fleet]]. He commands from his flagship, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51), on which he was captain for two years. He also previously served with [[BuTrain]] and [[BuComm]] as the newsie for the Fleet. Presently, he is a member of BuComm's TRMN Wiki Team. You can see his electronic fingerprints all over this wiki. So far, he has completed: 
* half of the [[List_of_Naval_Technical_Specialties | Technical Specialties]] pages
* all the [[TRMN Ranks]] pages.
* the [[8th Fleet]] Pages.
* and many of the [[BuShips]] Directives.

== In Real Life ==
Marcus is a mercenary teacher, selling his training skills to the highest bidder, which usually tends to be hospitals all over the country. When he's not travelling, he hides from the sun in Tempe, Arizona, with his beautiful wife, two kids who are too clever for their own good, and two cats who unfortunately have only four legs. He took over the local TRMN chapter back in 2014 and has tried to keep it lively and active.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[RADM]] Eddy Roberts, from his flagship {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]], and the [[wikipedia:Canada|Canadian provinces]] of [[wikipedia:Alberta|Alberta]], and [[wikipedia:Saskatchewan|Saskatchewan]], and [[wikipedia:Manitoba|Manitoba]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

[[RADM]] Brandow had to step down as fleet commander, promoting Eddy Roberts as the acting CO on 28 Mar 2017. He was officially promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] on 26 April 2017. Since Marcus Johnston was promoted to Deputy Fleet Commander, he had to surrender command of the overloaded {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}. They split the Arizona ship into two operational areas: the south was covered by {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron, and the north was covered by {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} (CA-47) under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Rose Davies on 22 April 2017.

}}The [[Eighth Fleet]] is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts, from his flagship {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}, this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]], [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[wikipedia:Wyoming|Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Montana|Montana]], [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], and [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]], and the [[wikipedia:Canada|Canadian provinces]] of [[wikipedia:Alberta|Alberta]], and [[wikipedia:Saskatchewan|Saskatchewan]], and [[wikipedia:Manitoba|Manitoba]].

==History==
The Eighth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to [[ADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] John Roberts, [[Baron]] [[New Mecklenberg]] to assume command of the fleet. {{hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} formed in the Albuquerque area on 17 March 2011, under the command of [[ADM]] John Roberts, transferring a lot of his crew from the [[wikipedia:Trekkie#Activities|STARFLEET International]] (SFI) chapter USS ''Anasazi'' (NCC-62001). Admiral New Mecklenburg served in three capacities; Ship CO, Fleet CO, and [[Third Space Lord]], but at the time of TRMN's founding, neither of these jobs was particularly onerous.

USS ''Ad Astra'' (SFI) also crossed universes to become {{hms|Enterprise|BC-480}} under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Diane Bulkeley on 28 April 2012 to be the second ship in 8th Fleet, based out of Colorado. {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} soon signed on 07 September 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Michael Roybal in NM, and on 04 September 2012, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} was founded in Glendale, AZ under the command of [[LCDR]] Craig Porter, bringing the total number of chapters up to four. Since it was unseemly that Roberts continue as ''Anasazi's'' CO, [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule was named as commanding officer on 04 Nov 2012.

{{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was founded later on 23 Sept 2013 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Stephen Savage, becoming the first Canadian chapter in Edmonton, AB. This was none too soon, as {{hms|Raven|DD-1295}} was decomissioned on 07 September 2013 (lost contact with all crewmembers). The formation of the fleet's first [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] aboard {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} occurred on 06 October 2013, under the command of [[CPT]] George Farmer, [[RMMC]], located in Tucson, AZ.

{{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} became the first ship to commission in [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]] on 02 June 2014, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Eddy Roberts. On 28 July 2014, {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}} (DD-1233) upgraded to {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51). 10 August 2014 saw the formation of MARDET ''Enterprise'' under [[2LT]] Shirley Kunz, RMMC.

Crew from the ''Anasazi'' split off to form {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}} on 1 January 2015, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Dan Brandow. However, {{hms|Juno|BC-726}} was decommissioned on 21 January 2015 (command staff not testing up to their rank). As one ship falls, another took its place, when {{hms|Reliant|BC-401}} split off from ''Enterprise'' on 15 Aug 2015 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] David Toback, allowing the formation of [[BatCruDiv 865]] (65 being the hull number of the ''USS Enterprise'') under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Tammy Schoonover. HM Pinnace ''Claymore-One'' launched on 07 July 2015 under the command of [[LTJG]] Chris Paige in Tuscon, AZ. Eddy Roberts transferred from his old ship to command {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, splitting crew from {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} on 01 November 2015 to become the second ship commissioned in Utah, and gaining a MarDet under the command of [[CPL]] Allison Ehni on 10 November 2015, and finally forming [[CruDiv 801]] (named after the Salt Lake City area code) on 26 November 2015.

[[ADM]] John Roberts finally realized that the demands of 8th Fleet were too much to maintain, so he turned over command to his deputy on 01 January 2016, promoting Dan Brandow to [[Rear Admiral]]. [[1LT]] Shirley Kunz got her command of [[Marine Detachment|MarDet]] Enterprise upgraded to a platoon on 10 March 2016. On 27 April 2016, BatDiv 841 was formalized, combining {hms|Anasazi|SD(P)-482}} and {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Jason Gurule. On the same day, {{hms|Claymore|CA-51}} (CA-51) upgraded to a battlecruiser becoming {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}} (BC-618), still under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, confusing anyone who reads this history from now on. The new fleet admiral finally relinquished command of {{hms|Implacable|SD(P)-467}} to [[CAPTJG]] Bill Knight on 28 May 2016. Unfortunately, real life affected the CO of [[HMS_Claymore_(BC-618)#HM_Pinnace_Claymore-One|HM Pinnace Claymore-One]] and it had to be returned to its mother ship on 28 September 2016. When {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} was threatened by the demotion of their command staff on 28 November 2016, [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts decided to combine both the ''Adcock'' and {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}} into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.

'''HMS Bedivere (DD-486)''' is a [[Roland-class]] [[Destroyer]] within [[Tenth Fleet]]. Commanded by [[LCDR]] Timothy Simpson, [[RMN]], ''Bedivere'' claims [[wikipedia:San Diego, California|San Diego, California]] as her charter city, and is part of [[Task Force 91.1]], which commands all of the southern half of the American State of [[wikipedia:California|California]].
==History==
''Bedivere'' was first brought into commission on 02 April 2012 under the command of then-[[LCDR]] Eric Schulman, by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]<ref name="BSD120401">[[BuShips Directive 1204-01]]</ref>. This ship was the second ship ever to be commissioned in [[First Fleet]], based out of [[wikipedia:Washington, DC|Washington, DC]]. It was originally HMLAC Zwicky (LAC-003), named after [[wikipedia:Fritz Zwicky|Fritz Zwitcky]] an astronomer, but quickly got a few more members in half a month to become a destroyer. The ship probably only attended [[Shore Leave]] before it upgraded up to {{hms|Artegal|CL-493}} on 12 July 2012, and put into the [[Active Reserves]].

However, it didn't stay vacant for long. It was recommissioned on 04 September 2012<ref name="BSD120903">[[BuShips Directive 1209-03]]</ref>, under the command of then-[[LCDR]] Christopher Beilby, upgrading the HMLAC Grimalkin in [[wikipedia:Santa Ana, California|Santa Ana, California]] out in [[Tenth Fleet]]. The ship remained in place for almost two years before they were able to upgrade to {{hms|Merlin|CA-270}} on 19 July 2014.

''Bedivere'' was recommissioned on 23 December 2014<ref name="BSD141202">[[BuShips Directive 1412-02]]</ref>, when crew from {{hms|Tisiphone|CL-112}} broke away to form a chapter in [[wikipedia:Lincoln, Nebraska|Lincoln, Nebraska]]. [[CDR]] Matthew Parker took command of this ship in [[Sixth Fleet]], but it didn't stay long, as they quickly upgraded to {{hms|Aegis|CL-396}} by 25 March 2015.

It finally returned to familiar space on 28 November 2015<ref name="BSD151118">[[BuShips Directive 1511-18]]</ref>, recommissioned in [[Tenth Fleet]] just south of its previous mooring in [[wikipedia:San Diego, California|San Diego, California]]. [[LCDR]] Timothy Simpson took command of the new ship as it became part of [[Task Force 91.1]].

}}The '''Fourth Fleet''' comprises of the entirety of the ''Grayson Space Navy'' and is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[HADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Tom Saidak, [[KDE]], [[DSO]], [[Steadholder]] Henesy, this fleet has no set area of operations, as its nature as (mostly) correspondence chapters mean that its members can be located anywhere in the world.

==History==
The Grayson Space Navy was founded as part of the initial development of [[TRMN]], due to the expectation that correspondence chapters would be needed, and would require different leadership to help them succeed. Kirylyn Dreamer became first [[High Admiral]] and helped setup the first chapters based from Texas and Florida, and worked with Martyn Griffths to start the Great Britain chapter. As more chapters were created, the needs of the GSN expanded. Their love of Monty Python quotes spread over into every post on the main Facebook group, so they had to relocate / flee / ordered to leave and developed their own identity.

Unfortunately, Kiry developed a chronic health condition and had to step down. She was awarded the first [[steadholder]] title in thanks for her four years of service. Nicholas Hurst took over as High Admiral in 2012 and worked to find ways to increase participation within the correspondence chapters. He developed a computer processed baseball league, where he had ships playing against each other, and encouraged the use of online games as qualifiers for [[marksmanship]] awards. Unfortunately, real life intervened for him as well, and he stepped down from the head spot, although he maintained the baseball league. Eventually, Hurst built the first Grayson meeting chapters in America.

Since the beginning of 2014, Tom Saidak has been the High Admiral. After three years of service, he was also awarded the title of [[steadholder]]. He continues to expand the fleet and tend to the needs of the GSN.

GNS Hermes (CL-73)

'''GNS Hermes (CL-73)''' is a [[Disciple-class]] [[Light Cruiser]] based out of [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]] in [[Sixth Fleet]].
==History==
''Hermes'' was first brought into commission on 23 March 2012 under the command of [[CDR]] Keith Manley, [[GSN]], by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]. This ship was originally a correspondence chapter based in [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]], expanding the distance participation options in [[Fourth Fleet]]. This ship became the flagship of the new [[High Admiral]], Nicholas Macon Hurst, after his precedessor, [[Lady]] Kirylyn Dreamer, [[Steadholder]] Blackbird stepped down after years of service due to poor health. The ''Hermes'' recruited heavily through cons in Texas when their efforts were rewarded with an upgrade to {{gns|Barbara Bancroft|SD-32}} on 28 October 2012. The ''Hermes'' was then put into the [[Active Reserves]].

What goes around, comes around, and the High Admiral Hurst himself stepped down to become Baseball Commissioner. However, the siren song of command called to him again, and he formed the {{gns|Reuben|DD-10}}, the first [[Grayson]] meeting chapter again based in [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]]. It didn't take long for them to get enough members to get upgraded, and now-[[CDR]] got his old flagship out of mothballs, and took command of the '''GNS Hermes'''. Because this was a meeting chapter, it made more sense to place the ship in [[Sixth Fleet]], aligning itself with the nearest [[RMN]] ships in [[wikipedia:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]].

Their recruiting continued to expand, which meant more Grayson ships were created, forming [[Task Group 61.1]], and promoting Hurst to [[Captain]] in charge of the group. However on 22 August 2016, the captain physically left [[wikipedia:Texas|Texas]] and a new commanding officer was needed for the ''Hermes.'' In a strange turn of fate, the original High Admiral had moved to the area, and stepped up to leave her steading to take command on 30 October 2016.

'''HMS Bedivere (DD-486)''' is a [[Roland-class]] [[Destroyer]] within [[Tenth Fleet]]. Commanded by [[LCDR]] Timothy Simpson, [[RMN]], ''Bedivere'' claims [[wikipedia:San Diego, California|San Diego, California]] as her charter city, and is part of [[Task Force 91.1]], which commands all of the southern half of the American State of [[wikipedia:California|California]].
==History==
''Bedivere'' was first brought into commission on 02 April 2012 under the command of then-[[LCDR]] Eric Schulman, by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]. This ship was the second ship ever to be commissioned in [[First Fleet]], based out of [[wikipedia:Washington, DC|Washington, DC]]. It was originally HMLAC Zwicky (LAC-003) but quickly got a few more members in half a month to become a destroyer. The ship probably only attended [[Shore Leave]] before it upgraded up to {{hms|Artegal|CL-493}} on 12 July 2012, and put into the [[Active Reserves]].

However, it didn't stay vacant for long. It was recommissioned on 04 September 2012, under the command of then-[[LCDR]] Christopher Beilby, upgrading the HMLAC Grimalkin in [[wikipedia:Santa Ana, California|Santa Ana, California]] out in [[Tenth Fleet]]. The ship remained in place for almost two years before they were able to upgrade to {{hms|Merlin|CA-270}} on 19 July 2014.

''Bedivere'' was recommissioned on 23 December 2014, when crew from {{hms|Tisiphone|CL-112}} broke away to form a chapter in [[wikipedia:Lincoln, Nebraska|Lincoln, Nebraska]]. [[CDR]] Matthew Parker took command of this ship in [[Sixth Fleet]], but it didn't stay long, as they quickly upgraded to {{hms|Aegis|CL-396}} by 25 March 2015.

It finally returned to familiar space on 28 November 2015, recommissioned in [[Tenth Fleet]] just south of its previous mooring in [[wikipedia:San Diego, California|San Diego, California]]. [[LCDR]] Timothy Simpson took command of the new ship as it became part of [[Task Force 91.1]].
