HMS Kodiak Max (CA-413) was a Saganami-C-class Heavy Cruiser of the Royal Manticoran Navy in Second Fleet, chartered successively in North Dakota, Michigan, and Ohio. One of the fleet's original chapters, she was commissioned in 2011 and served under six commanders across four commissions before her final decommissioning in 2021.
History
Kodiak Max was commissioned on 30 November 2011 under the command of CAPTJG Michael Larson, one of the original Second Fleet chapters, based in the Fargo, North Dakota area.[1] The chapter grew out of members recruited at ValleyCon 37 in October 2011, where author David Weber was guest of honor and first saw the organization in action at a convention. On 16 July 2012 the crew upgraded to the battlecruiser HMS Leonidas, returning Kodiak Max to the reserve.[2]
She was recommissioned on 27 September 2012 in Marquette, Michigan under CAPTJG Brian Horton.[3] Command passed to CAPTJG Justin Dupras on 7 July 2014,[4] and to CAPTJG Greg Moyle on 16 March 2016.[5] The chapter lost its command staff to attrition and was decommissioned on 30 October 2016.[6]
Kodiak Max was recommissioned on 19 December 2016 in Avon, Ohio under CAPTJG Michael Timko,[7] whose crew transferred to the recommissioned GNS Matthias on 28 May 2017.[8] She returned to service on 3 January 2019 under CDR Timothy Simpson,[9] until that crew upgraded to the battlecruiser HMS Diomedes on 30 March 2021, decommissioning Kodiak Max for the last time.[10]
