'''{{hms|Sphinx|SD-86|hcn}}''' was a [[Sphinx-class]] [[Superdreadnought]] within [[Sixth Fleet]]. Commanded by [[RADM]] Beau Thacker, ''Sphinx'' claimed [[wikipedia:Springhill, LA|Springhill, LA]] as her charter city.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Commissioned in September of 2018 under the command of Rear Admiral of the Red Beau Thacker, HMS ''Sphinx'' was initially assigned to Sixth Fleet, out of [[wikipedia:Springhill, LA|Springhill, LA]];<ref name="BSD130902">[[BuShips Directive 1309-02]]</ref> though the order struck {{hms|Death Claw|CA-437}} from the rolls upon her decommissioning, a subsequent iteration launched in April of 2018.<br />
<br />
In October of 2015, the crew of ''Sphinx'' ballooned as she absorbed the evacuating members of the decommissioning {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}} and attendant Pinnace Broadsword-01.<ref name="BSD151001">[[BuShips Directive 1510-01]]</ref> Unfortunately, a scant year later, HMS ''Sphinx'' was among ten ships decommissioned<ref name="BSD161121">[[BuShips Directive 1611-21]]</ref> for lack of qualified officers.<ref name="BSD161014">[[BuShips Directive 1610-14]]</ref><br />
