HMS Roland
DD-476
Class: Roland
Type: Destroyer
Affiliation: Royal Manticoran Navy
Commander: Vacant
Launched: 23 MAY 2012
Status: Inactive

HMS Roland was a Roland-class Destroyer of the Royal Manticoran Navy. Commissioned in 2012 as a founding chapter of the Tenth Fleet and its first hyper-capable ship, she served through two commissions and two fleets (the Tenth and later the Second Fleet) across nearly eight years before her decommissioning on 4 January 2020.

History

Roland was commissioned on 23 May 2012 in the Tenth Fleet under LCDR Jack Yeager, the fleet's first hyper-capable ship.[1] On 17 June 2014 she was assigned to Task Group 91.1,[2] and later joined Destroyer Division 231 within it.[3] She took part in FresCon 2016, and on 23 August 2016 was placed in reserve when her crew transferred to the Invictus-class Superdreadnought HMS Intractable.[4]

HMS Roland recommissioned on 10 June 2017 in the Second Fleet under LCDR Jeffry M. Ellis, transferring HMLAC Caleb to the reserve fleet. She was decommissioned on 4 January 2020, her crew transferred to HMSS Greenwich.[5]

Legacy

Roland was the seed of several Tenth Fleet chapters across the San Francisco Bay Area and Central California. In January 2014 she launched Pinnace Roland-01 at San Francisco,[6] which was commissioned that April as the Nike-class Battlecruiser HMS Artemis, the pinnace returning to Roland for further use.[7] Artemis expanded in November 2015 into the Superdreadnought HMS Medusa under CDRE Michael Garcia, who had served as Artemis's founding bosun.[8] A Roland plankowner, Jack Kane,[1] likewise carried into the Saganami-C-class Heavy Cruiser HMS Wolf, commissioned at Ceres in May 2014,[9] whose command line under CAPTSG Sonja Thiede went on to raise the Superdreadnought HMS Thunderer and the amphibious transport HMS Guadalcanal.[10][11] The sublight Light Attack Craft HMLAC Grimalkin had commissioned three months earlier as the fleet's first chapter,[12] but as its first hyper-capable ship, and the seed from which a battlecruiser and a superdreadnought were raised, Roland was central to the Tenth Fleet's expansion across Northern and Central California.
