'''HMS Claymore''' (CA-51) is a [[Broadsword-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] in the [[Eighth Fleet]]. ''Claymore'' claims [[wikipedia:Tucson, 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.
'''HMS Claymore (CA-51)''' was a [[Broadsword-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] of the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]] in [[Eighth Fleet]], chartered in Arizona. Commissioned in 2014 from the crew of the destroyer {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}}, she was decommissioned in 2016 when that crew upgraded to the battlecruiser {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}, then recommissioned in 2017 as one of two heavy cruisers formed when the battlecruiser's chapter divided.
==History==
''Claymore'' was first commissioned on 28 July 2014 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Marcus Johnston, her crew having upgraded from the destroyer {{hms|Condor|DD-1233}}, which was returned to the reserve.<ref name="BSD1407-05">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1407-05]]</ref> [[CDR]] Darren Lee was appointed executive officer on 1 January 2015.<ref name="BSD1412-04">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1412-04]]</ref> The chapter took part in [[LepreCon]] 2015, for which several members were recognized.<ref name="EFO1507-01">[[Orders:Eighth Fleet Order 1507-01]]</ref>


==History==
On 27 April 2016 the crew upgraded to the battlecruiser {{hms|Claymore|BC-618}}, and ''Claymore'' (CA-51) was placed in inactive reserve.<ref name="BSD1604-04">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1604-04]]</ref>
''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|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.
 
She was recommissioned on 22 April 2017 under [[CAPTJG]] Michael Naron when the battlecruiser's chapter divided into two [[Eighth Fleet]] heavy cruisers, ''Claymore'' and {{hms|Broadsword|CA-47}}, based at [[wikipedia:Tucson, Arizona|Tucson, Arizona]].<ref name="BSD1704-09">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1704-09]]</ref> The two were organized as Heavy Cruiser Division 815 until its dissolution on 13 January 2018.<ref name="EFO1801-03">[[Orders:Eighth Fleet Order 1801-03]]</ref> ''Claymore'' took part in the Tempe Library Comic-Con and LepreCon 2018.<ref name="EFO1802-20">[[Orders:Eighth Fleet Order 1802-20]]</ref><ref name="EFO1810-02">[[Orders:Eighth Fleet Order 1810-02]]</ref>


''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.
''Claymore'' was subsequently decommissioned; the corresponding [[Bureau of Ships]] directive was not published to the forum.{{Citation needed}}
