'''HMS Helen Zilwicki''' (CA-548) is a [[Saganami-C-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] within [[Active Reserves]].
'''HMS Helen Zilwicki (CA-548)''' was a [[Saganami-C-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] of the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]]. First commissioned in 2014 in [[wikipedia:Chesapeake, Virginia|Chesapeake, Virginia]], the hull was later recommissioned in Salt Lake City out of a {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} chapter split, forming Cruiser Division 801 before both ships were merged into the LAC carrier {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}} in 2016.
==History==
''Helen Zilwicki'' was commissioned on 2 June 2014 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Joseph Morgan, an upgrade for the crew of the destroyer {{hms|Devastation|DD-44}} in [[wikipedia:Chesapeake, Virginia|Chesapeake, Virginia]] and assigned to Third Fleet.<ref name="BSD1406-02">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1406-02]]</ref> Command passed to [[CAPTJG]] Joseph Lyons on 2 February 2015.<ref name="BSD1502-01">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1502-01]]</ref> To better serve the spread-out Hampton Roads region, the crew upgraded to the LAC carrier {{hms|Specter|CLAC-29}} on 6 May 2015, and ''Helen Zilwicki'' was placed in reserve.<ref name="BSD1505-03">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1505-03]]</ref>


==History==
The hull was recommissioned on 1 November 2015 in [[Eighth Fleet]] under [[CAPTJG]] J. Eddy Roberts, formed when the {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} chapter in Salt Lake City divided, with the two ships organized as Cruiser Division 801.<ref name="BSD1511-02">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1511-02]]</ref> On 28 November 2016, ''Helen Zilwicki'' and ''Jonas Adcock'' were merged into the newly commissioned LAC carrier {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}, and both hulls returned to the reserve.<ref name="BSD1611-16">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1611-16]]</ref>


''Helen Zilwicki'' was first brought into commission on 02 June 2014 under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Joseph Morgan in Third Fleet by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]].  This was a ship upgrade for the crew of {{hms|Devastation|DD-44}} in [[wikipedia:Chesapeake, Virginia|Chesapeake, Virginia]]. After Captain Morgan's behavior at [[MarsCon]] 2015, the XO, Joseph Lyons, was promoted to command. She has participated in many [[Fleet event|Fleet Events]], including [[MarsCon]], [[HonorCon]], and others. However, due to the spread-out nature of the Hampton Roads region, it was thought better to create a LAC Carrier, allowing smaller groups in their geographic regions to have their own identity. So the crew upgraded to {{hms|Specter|CLAC-29}} on 06 May 2015 and ''Zilwicki'' was placed in Reserve status.
Eventually, the ''Zilwicki'' was pulled out of [[Active Reserves|Active Reserve]] on 01 November 2015 and relocated in [[Eighth Fleet]], when {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}} decided to split into two ships: the western suburbs remaining on the ''Adcock,'' while the rest of SLC became {{hms|Helen Zilwicki|CA-548}}, forming [[CruDiv 801]] under the command of [[CDRE]] Eddy Roberts. They currently attend [[Salt Lake City Comic Con]] as their [[Fleet event]]. When their sister ship, {{hms|Jonas Adcock|CA-489}}, was threatened by the demotion of their command staff, Roberts decided to combine both ships into {{hms|Siren|CLAC-13}}.
