	'''HMS Bedivere (DD-486)''' is a [[Roland-class]] [[Destroyer]] ~~presently~~ in the ~~Active Reserve~~ fleet.		'''HMS Bedivere (DD-486)''' was a [[Roland-class]] [[Destroyer]] of the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]]. Across four commissions between 2012 and 2018 she served in [[First Fleet\|First]], [[Sixth Fleet\|Sixth]], and [[Tenth Fleet]], each of her crews upgrading in turn to a cruiser, before she was returned to the reserve fleet for the last time in June 2018.
	==History==		==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~~">[[Orders: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}} (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~~]].		''Bedivere'' was commissioned on 2 April 2012 under the command of [[LCDR]] Eric Schulman, assigned to [[First Fleet]] at [[wikipedia:Washington, D.C.\|Washington, D.C.]]<ref name="BSD1204-01">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1204-01]]</ref> Her crew upgraded to the light cruiser {{hms\|Artegal\|CL-493}} on 12 July 2012, returning ''Bedivere'' to the reserve.<ref name="BSD1207-02">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1207-02]]</ref>

	~~However, it didn't stay vacant for long. It~~ was recommissioned on 04 September 2012~~<ref name="BSD120903">[[Orders: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.		She was recommissioned on 4 September 2012 when the crew of [[HMLAC Grimalkin]] upgraded to the hull in [[wikipedia:Santa Ana, California\|Santa Ana, California]], under [[LCDR]] Christopher Beilby in [[Tenth Fleet]].<ref name="BSD1209-03">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1209-03]]</ref> That crew served until upgrading to the heavy cruiser {{hms\|Merlin\|CA-270}} on 19 July 2014.

	''Bedivere'' was recommissioned on 23 December 2014~~<ref name="BSD141202">[[Orders: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~~.		''Bedivere'' was recommissioned again on 23 December 2014 by members of {{hms\|Tisiphone\|CL-112}} who chartered a chapter in [[wikipedia:Lincoln, Nebraska\|Lincoln, Nebraska]], under [[CDR]] Matthew Parker in [[Sixth Fleet]].<ref name="BSD1412-02">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1412-02]]</ref> On 25 March 2015 that crew commissioned the light cruiser {{hms\|Aegis\|CL-396}}, and ''Bedivere'' was again placed in reserve.<ref name="BSD1503-05">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1503-05]]</ref>

	~~It finally returned to familiar space~~ on 28 November 2015~~<ref name="BSD151118">[[Orders: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 Group 91.1]].		Her final commission came on 28 November 2015, recommissioned in [[Tenth Fleet]] at [[wikipedia:San Diego\|San Diego, California]] under [[LCDR]] Timothy Simpson and assigned to [[Task Group 91.1]].<ref name="BSD1511-18">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1511-18]]</ref> Her executive officer and bosun were reappointed on 6 September 2016.<ref name="BSD1609-01">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1609-01]]</ref> On 16 June 2018, Simpson's crew transferred to the recommissioned light cruiser {{hms\|Avalon\|CL-395}}, and ''Bedivere'' was returned to the Active Fleet Reserve.<ref name="BSD1806-06">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1806-06]]</ref>
