Naval officials today announced that Troubridge Naval Base is fully up to its designed defensive capability. A force of three entire wings of torpedo-armed strike gunships and their associated fighter contingent has arrived at the station and is beginning operational exercises alongside the forces already assigned.

Officials declined to comment on the origins of these strike craft, citing operational security as the reason. Unofficial sources have indicated that at least two of the strike wings came from reserve carriers due for decommissioning in the near future.

In a possibly related story, the Fleet Gunship Carrier Hermes has been transferred to a private concern after decommissioning. It is thought that the vessel will be given a refit and a name change before proceeding rimward to join ongoing exploration missions.

Gunship carriers have previously proven ideal for exploration missions, acting as a mobile base for multiple smaller craft. An anonymous naval official commented that this is a fine way for no longer battleworthy vessels to continue to serve, but would not confirm that exploration was to be the carrier’s final fate.
