'''HMS Kodiak Max (CA-413)''' is a [[Saganami-C-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] in [[Second Fleet]] under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Timko, [[OG]], [[ME]], [[RMN]]. Their charter city is [[wikipedia:Avon, Ohio|Avon, Ohio]], but they are part of [[Cruiser Division 711]] (CruDiv 711) which covers the American states of [[wikipedia:Ohio|Ohio]] and [[wikipedia:Kentucky|Kentucky]], which in turn is part of [[Task Force 22]], which covers the majority of the fleet outside of [[wikipedia:Minnesota|Minnesota]] and [[wikipedia:Wisconsin|Wisconsin]].
'''HMS Kodiak Max (CA-413)''' was a [[Saganami-C-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] of the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]] in [[Second Fleet]], chartered successively in North Dakota, Michigan, and Ohio. One of the fleet's original chapters, she was commissioned in 2011 and served under six commanders across four commissions before her final decommissioning in 2021.

''Kodiak Max'' was first brought into commission on 30 November 2011 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Michael Larson, by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]. This ship was part of the original ships that were commissioned in [[Second Fleet]] in the [[wikipedia:Fargo, North Dakota|Fargo, North Dakota]] area. It was [[ValleyCon]] 37 (21-23 October, 2011), where David Weber was Author Guest of Honor, and {{hms|Merlin|CA-270}} operated a recruiting table. This was the first time that Weber saw [[TRMN]] members in action at a convention. Weber's presence recruited sufficient members for a local chapter. The ship eventually upgraded to {{hms|Leonidas|BC-584}} on 16 July 2012.

When Brian Horton founded his chapter up in [[wikipedia:Marquette, Michigan|Marquette, Michigan]], they took over the '''Kodiak Max''' on 27 September 2012. He ran the ship for the next year and a half, until [[CAPTJG]] Horton moved to the Twin Cities to become Tactical Officer on board {{hms|Valkyrie|SD-355}}. Command fell to [[CAPTJG]] Justin Dupras on 07 July 2014. He also served for a year and a half before turning over command to [[CAPTJG]] Greg Moyle on 16 March 2016. Unfortunately, he never tested up to his rank, and eventually when the [[Third Space Lord]] was instructed to crack down on the delinquents, the ''Kodiak Max'' lost their CO and XO, and Moyle was demoted to [[Chief Petty Officer]]. Unfortunately, with no qualified candidates to replace them, the ship was decommissioned on 30 October 2016.

HMS Kodiak Max (CA-413) was a Saganami-C-class Heavy Cruiser of the Royal Manticoran Navy in Second Fleet, chartered successively in North Dakota, Michigan, and Ohio. One of the fleet's original chapters, she was commissioned in 2011 and served under six commanders across four commissions before her final decommissioning in 2021.

History

Kodiak Max was commissioned on 30 November 2011 under the command of CAPTJG Michael Larson, one of the original Second Fleet chapters, based in the Fargo, North Dakota area.[1] The chapter grew out of members recruited at ValleyCon 37 in October 2011, where author David Weber was guest of honor and first saw the organization in action at a convention. On 16 July 2012 the crew upgraded to the battlecruiser HMS Leonidas, returning Kodiak Max to the reserve.[2]

She was recommissioned on 27 September 2012 in Marquette, Michigan under CAPTJG Brian Horton.[3] Command passed to CAPTJG Justin Dupras on 7 July 2014,[4] and to CAPTJG Greg Moyle on 16 March 2016.[5] The chapter lost its command staff to attrition and was decommissioned on 30 October 2016.[6]

Kodiak Max was recommissioned on 19 December 2016 in Avon, Ohio under CAPTJG Michael Timko,[7] whose crew transferred to the recommissioned GNS Matthias on 28 May 2017.[8] She returned to service on 3 January 2019 under CDR Timothy Simpson,[9] until that crew upgraded to the battlecruiser HMS Diomedes on 30 March 2021, decommissioning Kodiak Max for the last time.[10]
