Blurb: After the sudden loss of both Barbados and Gander Island, the Alliance Navy found itself with the very real possibility of total lawlessness in the Atlantic Ocean. To combat this danger, the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, CO Irving Kristol, was deployed as the flagship of a patrol squadron to restore law and order.
The Roosevelt, fitted with a crack mobile suit complement, is named after United States President Theodore Roosevelt, while its companion vessels are named after captains and commanders of ships of both the United States and European Union’s respective navies. The battle group is based out of Galveston Naval Base and aside from patrol duties protecting the Atlantic is also quite a public relations tool, showcasing the Alliance’s military prowess at ports of call on both sides of the ocean.
