'''{{hms|Penelope|BC-585|hcn}}''' is a [[Nike-class]] [[Battlecruiser]] within [[First Fleet]]. Commanded by [[CAPTSG]] John Rebori, ''Penelope'' claims [[wikipedia:New York, NY|New York, NY]] as her charter city.

==History==
In September of 2014 ''Penelope'' commissioned in First Fleet out of [[wikipedia:Fishkill, NY|Fishkill, NY]] under the command of [[Captain of the List]] Michael Spath. This was a downsizing from {{hms|Chimera|CLAC-07}} due to officer requirements; said LAC Carrier was subsequently assigned to the [[Royal Manticoran Reserve Fleet|Active Reserve]].<ref name="BSD1409-05">[[BuShips Directive 1409-05]]</ref> HMS ''Penelope'' operated indepenedently for just over a year, when in October of 2015, she was incorporated into the newly-established Battle Cruiser Division 112 (BatCruDiv 112), a subunit of Battlecruiser Squadron 11; her operating partner, {{hms|Rigel|BC-591}} took Flag position, while the pair of battlecruisers were screened by {{hms|Snow Leopard|CA-425}}.<ref name="ND15OC-03">[[Naval Directive 15OC-03]]</ref>

In July 2016, command shifted to then-Bosun John Rebori, who was breveted to Captain, Junior Grade.<ref name="BSD1607-04">[[BuShips Directive 1607-04]]</ref> ''Penelope'' has remained so since, making her one of the longest contiguously-serving vessels in the fleet at, as of this writing, nearly a decade. HMS ''Penelope'' holds monthly-to-bimonthly virtual meetings, wherein the crew meets up to discuss a variety of topics.
