@Guy, Harmon, and Marc:

(My phone is derping out such that the reply button on certain pages won't work, it's really bizarre... Hence new thread)

Anyways, regarding the matter with Harmon's ships. Since everyone seems to want them, and my previous "nobody gets them" solution flew about as far as a dodo bird, here's a new solution that I think should be seriously considered: A portion of Harmon's ships are laid up in port, either just docked, or in for repairs. These ships, remain with the USN as they are put on lockdown or something, and eventually refitted or scrapped. The remaining ships, which are currently at sea doing whatever they're supposed to be doing, defect with Harmon to Aubrey base. Since they are likely operating independently or in self contained groups, they encounter little to no resistance, aside from a "who's there" at Aubrey, and a distant chasing force.

Now, this is favorable in a couple of ways. One, it is a highly plausible distribution of the ships under Harmon's command, some are at sea while others are getting repaired, just like irl practice. Secondly, it covers any possible conflicts regarding anyone who was on one of Harmon's ships, but doesn't want to defect. Thirdly, it allows both sides to get what they want, though to a lesser degree, a compromise which should be favorable to both sides. This should also mean that y'all get off my back on the matter. I should've never tried to moderate this, but now that I am, I intend to see it through. Fourthly, it is a reasonable compromise between the opposing precedents of "user gets absolute control of ships" and "the head of a navy can control underlings' ships" of which I have seen examples of both during my time here. So, can y'all settle for this? Then Marc and Harmon can go their separate ways.

Please accept this. I really don't want to be caught in the middle of this any more....
