    Many congratulations to you, Rob, upon your promotion to the rank of Admiral of the Fleet and thank you for promoting me to Admiral of the White. I can't say that I have done much recently to merit that but I realise that it comes by seniority.

    Good morning Dave.
    It could have been Admiral of the Red for post 1805, as Admiral of the Fleet no longer used the Red, but I prefer the earlier set up as it covers both periods better.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    I believe that the Wardroom may be expecting a little bit more than that shipmates.
    I have sent my steward down with the first bottle from my supplies. The rest of the evening is up to you.

    It has just been brought to my attention that Continentaleye , Anthony was never awarded his medal for submitting five Campaign AARs for the 2015 season. I have therefore issued this medal.
    Congratulations Anthony.

    Thank you gentlemen! Unfortunately, due to some serious health issues of a family member, I have been unable to complete any more scenarios or visit the Anchorage on a regular basis. I miss both endeavors. Whenever I can, I do visit the Anchorage and continued to be amazed by the modelling skill and statistical insight of the members. I dearly miss playing SOG and hope to return to it in the future.

    The Anchorage is certainly the poorer for missing your contributions.

    It is with a sense of personal sadness and loss, and on instruction from the Comptroller of The Navy Board that I announce the award of the Sails of Glory Service Medal, posthumously, to the late Admiral David Naharaht for services to the aforementioned board.



    The citation reads:-

    "A prestigious medal award to a select few for their dedication of time and knowledge to helping to keep the Sails of Glory Anchorage website a reality."
