HMS Claymore (BC-618) was a Reliant-class Battlecruiser of the Royal Manticoran Navy, chartered in Tempe, Arizona. Commissioned in 2016 from the crew of the heavy cruiser HMS Claymore, she served in Eighth Fleet as part of Heavy Cruiser Division 815 alongside HMS Broadsword.
History
Claymore was commissioned on 27 April 2016 under the command of CAPTJG Marcus Johnston, her crew having upgraded from the heavy cruiser HMS Claymore (formerly the destroyer HMS Condor), which was placed in inactive reserve.[1] A ship's bosun was appointed the following month.[2]
Operating in Eighth Fleet, Claymore was organized with HMS Broadsword into Heavy Cruiser Division 815. The division was dissolved on 13 January 2018, returning both ships to direct Eighth Fleet command.[3] The chapter took part in LepreCon 2018, for which several of its officers were recognized.[4]
Claymore was subsequently decommissioned; the corresponding Bureau of Ships directive was not published to the forum.[citation needed]
