FROM: COMMANDING OFICER, BROOKLYN NAVY YARD, NY, ADMIRAL BENSON HALL

TO: COMMANDING OFFICER, MILITARY OCEAN TERMINAL, BAYONNE, NJ, COLONEL GEORGE AMHERST

SUBJECT: The USS Puerto Rico

This is to inform you that Alaska Class Cruiser Puerto Rico will be ready for sea in a couple of days. At that time the Puerto Rico will take up station in the Hudson River where, thanks to a full array of "enhanced" weapons, she will be able to defend both New York and Bayonne from whatever the enemy may throw at us.

Captain Lyle Manning will continue to serve as Naval Liaison Officer to ensure that all of the various issues related to fuelling, logistics, and communications are properly attended to.
