Ok, here is my offering: since Hodston has been back at the Home Islands the whole time (land campaign, surely simple shore bombardment can be carried out by a more junior officer) so instead, I will give you the choice of three other high tankimg officers. The first option is the man who's been leading most of the AIF's ground offensives in the war, Major Alexander Veers. Second we have the naval officer that has headed the naval operations of the blockade and rising star in the navy, Vice Admiral Victoria Adams. And thirdly we have Admiral Bradford Arents, second in command of the IKN, and currently commanding the Tenelapis operation, he could be called back to get some real battle experience against the Feds. One of these (or two perhaps) is what I am wagering on the capability of a First Emperor class.
