History
Bedivere was commissioned on 2 April 2012 under the command of LCDR Eric Schulman, assigned to First Fleet at Washington, D.C.[1] Her crew upgraded to the light cruiser HMS Artegal on 12 July 2012, returning Bedivere to the reserve.[2]
She was recommissioned on 4 September 2012 when the crew of HMLAC Grimalkin upgraded to the hull in Santa Ana, California, under LCDR Christopher Beilby in Tenth Fleet.[3] That crew served until upgrading to the heavy cruiser HMS Merlin on 19 July 2014.
Bedivere was recommissioned again on 23 December 2014 by members of HMS Tisiphone who chartered a chapter in Lincoln, Nebraska, under CDR Matthew Parker in Sixth Fleet.[4] On 25 March 2015 that crew commissioned the light cruiser HMS Aegis, and Bedivere was again placed in reserve.[5]
Her final commission came on 28 November 2015, recommissioned in Tenth Fleet at San Diego, California under LCDR Timothy Simpson and assigned to Task Group 91.1.[6] Her executive officer and bosun were reappointed on 6 September 2016.[7] On 16 June 2018, Simpson's crew transferred to the recommissioned light cruiser HMS Avalon, and Bedivere was returned to the Active Fleet Reserve.[8]
