--- Quote ---PRINCE CHUN ACCEPTS NAVAL POSITION
--- End quote ---

Today a ceremony in the port town of Jianyu the heir to the Empire, Prince Chun, was named as the High Lord of the Navy. The ceremonial role was held by the Dragon-Emperor however now that Prince Chun has become 18 years of age his father has begun giving him several significant roles and titles. This title means that the Prince is responsible, on paper at least, for maintaining the readiness of the Navy and approving captaincies of ships. The crew of the Imperial Frigate Shennong paraded for the Prince and received a new ensign for their vessel. The Prince was given a tour of the ship and dined with its officers. The Prince is set to return to the Fengtai Institute for Science and Technology (FIST) in September to complete the 2nd year of his degree in Urban Engineering and now is considered likely to enter the Navy for a short time following his graduation. The Prince was joined at the ceremony by his future wife, the 17 year old Lady Jincheng whom he is expected to marry in the next month or so when omens are considered right. The future Princess will become the High Lady of the Navy and be responsible for promoting events involving the wives of naval officers. Lady Jincheng joined the crew for dinner and received several gifts from the crew. The current Captain of the Shennong said "I am honoured to have had the future Emperor and Empress aboard today, its a blessing for the ship and its crew. I hope the Prince will build upon what will become a special bond between himself and the Navy."

Meanwhile the Shennong will later set sail into the Krimeon as part of the multi-national task force patrolling what has affectionately become called "The Rainbow Route". It was announced from Daito that following their partnership with the  Preorian government their ships will also join the patrols. A Naval spokesman stated, "While we welcome the contribution Daito is likely to make I believe General Tamura has rather insulted those of us who have been doing this work for weeks now. He stated "that these assets will help to restore peace to the region" however save for one Lakhzovian incident of piracy there has been peace. The fact Lakhzovia choose to ignore the opportunity to work with the region on piracy illustrates just how insignificant piracy actually is in the region. The Krimeon can now be described as a well protected and policed waterway, it was always reasonably secure before this. The Krimeon nations have demonstrated unprecedented co-operation on the matter and this should be recognised not insulted."
