[[Battle Squadron 2]] formed in early September 2016, under the command of [[CDRE]] Sir Joseph Harney, with subordinate echelon forces in Battle Division 201 (''Medusa'' and ''Intractable'') and Battle Division 202 (''Thunderer'' and ''Revenge''). Later that month, ''Madrigal'' and ''Hellhound'' upgraded to the Superdreadnought {{gns|Jason Mueller|SD-36}} and Light Cruiser {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}}, respectively. As a result, BatCruDiv 963 was dissolved, and both vessels along with ''Callisto'' were placed on detached duty within Tenth Fleet. | [[Battle Squadron 2]] formed in early September 2016, under the command of [[CDRE]] Sir Joseph Harney, with subordinate echelon forces in Battle Division 201 (''Medusa'' and ''Intractable'') and Battle Division 202 (''Thunderer'' and ''Revenge'').
