History
In September of 2014 Penelope commissioned in First Fleet out of Fishkill, NY under the command of Captain of the List Michael Spath. This was a downsizing from HMS Chimera due to officer requirements; said LAC Carrier was subsequently assigned to the Active Reserve.[1] HMS Penelope operated indepenedently for just over a year, when in October of 2015, she was incorporated into the newly-established Battle Cruiser Division 112 (BatCruDiv 112), a subunit of Battlecruiser Squadron 11; her operating partner, HMS Rigel took Flag position, while the pair of battlecruisers were screened by HMS Snow Leopard.[2]
In July 2016, command shifted to then-Bosun John Rebori, who was breveted to Captain, Junior Grade.[3] Penelope has remained so since, making her one of the longest contiguously-serving vessels in the fleet at, as of this writing, nearly a decade. HMS Penelope holds monthly-to-bimonthly virtual meetings, wherein the crew meets up to discuss a variety of topics.
