Sir Nick Mickelson - Out of Game Award: Admiral's Commendation Fellow members of the Board, Sir Nick Mickelson has recently made available a very useful toolbox for use when crafting or comparing various vessels, and is continuously updating it. Although I am not a craftsman, I have used it to compare my own ship to that of my enemies, to great effect. It is my recommendation that he recieves an Admiral's Commendation for his work. I remain, &c. The Lord Viscount Trentham Congratulations, Sir Nick! I remain, &c.
