'''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.
==History==
==History==
''Samurai'' was first brought into commission on 20 November 2011 under the command of then-[[CDR]] Justin Grays, by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]. This ship was the second ship ever to be commissioned in [[Second Fleet]], based out of [[wikipedia:Minneapolis, Minnesota|Minneapolis, Minnesota]]. Eventually they upgraded to {{hms|Victorious|BC-425}} on 28 October 2012. However, it was only in [[Active Reserves]] for a couple months before it was recommissioned in the Twin Cities under the command of [[CDR]] Wayne Bruns on 23 December 2012. Eventually they recruited enough to upgrade to {{hms|Imperatrix|SD-457}} on 03 May 2013.
''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 [[wikipedia:Fargo, North Dakota|Fargo, North Dakota]] area.<ref name="BSD1111-03">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1111-03]]</ref> 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|BC-584}}, returning ''Kodiak Max'' to the reserve.<ref name="BSD1207-05">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1207-05]]</ref>


The ship finally left the city on 09 May 2014, but only traveled south to [[wikipedia:Rochester, Minnesota|Rochester, Minnesota]], under the command of [[CDR]] Garrett Bitker. It remained there until 30 November 2015, when they upgraded again to {{hms|Merlin|CA-270}}. It currently remains in the [[Active Reserves]], but [[Second Fleet]] is definitely looking to bring it back into service. Regardless of who was in command, they continued to support the fleet's efforts at [[MarsCon]] and [[CONvergence]] multiple times, eventually serving at [[MantiCon]].
She was recommissioned on 27 September 2012 in [[wikipedia:Marquette, Michigan|Marquette, Michigan]] under [[CAPTJG]] Brian Horton.<ref name="BSD1209-07">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1209-07]]</ref> Command passed to [[CAPTJG]] Justin Dupras on 7 July 2014,<ref name="BSD1407-02">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1407-02]]</ref> and to [[CAPTJG]] Greg Moyle on 16 March 2016.<ref name="BSD1603-05">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1603-05]]</ref> The chapter lost its command staff to attrition and was decommissioned on 30 October 2016.<ref name="BSD1610-09">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1610-09]]</ref>
 
''Kodiak Max'' was recommissioned on 19 December 2016 in [[wikipedia:Avon, Ohio|Avon, Ohio]] under [[CAPTJG]] Michael Timko,<ref name="BSD1612-08">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1612-08]]</ref> whose crew transferred to the recommissioned {{gns|Matthias|DD-28}} on 28 May 2017.<ref name="BSD1705-07">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1705-07]]</ref> She returned to service on 3 January 2019 under [[CDR]] Timothy Simpson,<ref name="BSD1901-03">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1901-03]]</ref> until that crew upgraded to the battlecruiser {{hms|Diomedes|BC-588}} on 30 March 2021, decommissioning ''Kodiak Max'' for the last time.<ref name="BSD2103-03">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 2103-03]]</ref>
