'''{{hms|Cerberus|CLAC-42|hcn}}''' was a [[Hydra-class]] [[LAC Carrier]] of the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]]. First commissioned in 2015 in the [[Tenth Fleet]] and recommissioned in 2017 in the [[Third Fleet]], she served across two commissions before her decommissioning on 29 March 2020.


==History==
==History==
HMS ''Cerberus'' first commissioned in [[Tenth Fleet]], under the command of [[Captain of the List]] James Jones, out of [[wikipedia:Ceres, CA|Ceres, California]].<ref name="BSD150506">[[BuShips Directive 1505-06]]</ref> Command shifted to Captain of the List Katherine Texeira in October of that year, though the patrol area remained the same.<ref name="BSD151002">[[BuShips Directive 1510-02]]</ref>
''Cerberus'' was commissioned on 23 May 2015 in the [[Tenth Fleet]] at [[wikipedia:Ceres, CA|Ceres, California]], under [[CAPTSG]] James Jones,<ref name="BSD150506">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1505-06]]</ref> and command passed to [[CAPTSG]] Katherine Texeira that October.<ref name="BSD151002">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1510-02]]</ref> She was attached to [[Task Group 91.1|Task Group 91.1]] in June 2015, which was awarded the [[Royal Meritorious Unit Citation]].<ref name="ND15JU01U">[[Orders:Naval Directive 15JU-01U]]</ref> After her crew merged with that of {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}} to launch {{hms|Thunderer|SD-323}},<ref name="BSD160706">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1607-06]]</ref> ''Cerberus'' was placed in reserve.<ref name="ND16AU01">[[Orders:Naval Directive 16AU-01]]</ref>


''Cerberus'' was attached to [[Task Group 91.1|TG 91.1]] in June of 2015<ref name="ND15JU01U">[[Naval Directive 15JU-01U]]</ref>; this proved to be a most auspicious move, as they were subsequently awarded the RMU. However, subsequent to the crew's merger with {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}} to launch {{hms|Thunderer|SD-323}}<ref name="BSD160706">[[BuShips Directive 1607-06]]</ref>, HMS ''Cerberus'' was returned to the [[Royal Manticoran Reserve Fleet|Active Reserve]] and therefore removed from the task group.<ref name="ND16AU01">[[Naval Directive 16AU-01]]</ref>
''Cerberus'' recommissioned in March 2017 in the [[Third Fleet]] under [[CAPTJG]] [[Sir]] Andrew Martin, an upgrade from {{hms|Beowulf|BC-739|hcn}}.<ref name="BSD170303">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1703-03]]</ref> She was decommissioned on 29 March 2020, her crew transferred to {{hmss|Greenwich|SS-001}}.<ref name="BSD200307">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 2003-07]]</ref> Over her service she attended conventions including [[FleetEx OryCon 37]], [[FleetEx FresCon 2016]], and [[FleetEx NorWesCon 39]].
 
''Cerberus'' recommissioned in Third Fleet in March of 2017, under command of Captain (JG) Sir Andrew Martin as part of an upgrade from {{hms|Beowulf|BC-739|hcn}}.<ref name="BSD170303">[[BuShips Directive 1703-03]]</ref> However, after three years, this vessel was returned once more to the Active Reserve in March of 2020.<ref name="BSD200307">[[BuShips Directive 2003-07]]</ref>
 
Having attended [[FleetEx OryCon 37]], [[FleetEx FresCon 2016]], and [[FleetEx NorWesCon 39]] among others, HMS ''Cerberus'' has a history of giving a good showing for TRMN at conventions.
