Performance Evaluation (Comment Excerpt): Submitted by Admiral Severanti - Commander GTVA 13th Battlegroup: I was informed that my new Rear Admiral was an enfant terrible from the Effect Warfare school of thought, a young woman of unusual kinetic energy and determination who specialized in the use of capital warships to support air wing operations. I was therefore determined to correct all these flaws and help the Rear Admiral become a useful and well-balanced flag officer.

Unfortunately for my ambitions, the Rear Admiral served capably under my command. We disagreed on several points of doctrine, in particular the Rear Admiral's willingness to separate the Hood from the majority of its air wing and conduct simultaneous attacks. It is my opinion that a destroyer battle group must at all times withhold some component of its strength. But as I am sure the reader is familiar with my positions, I will proceed to note that Rear Admiral Carey flawlessly executed her maneuvers, displaying both flexibility and care in her use of reconnaissance and skirmishing forces to find and fix enemy formations. When a serious humanitarian crisis erupted in Delta Serpentis, Rear Admiral Carey was able to detach logistical elements for heavy lift without compromising force readiness. I would be overjoyed to see Rear Admiral Carey advance as one of the peacekeeping admirals that I believe our Alliance needs so much, but, in the event of war, it is my determination that Rear Admiral Carey be given control of a large air wing, where she can best use her proficiency at organizing and conducting strike operations.

I am bemused and disgusted by recent inquiries into the Rear Admiral's personal life and habits, and I request the strongest censure of those responsible. An officer of the Alliance is an honorable person, and to question that honor is to question the Alliance itself.
