The Gator State has not used the ICBM method to return the remains of unwelcome diplomats lately, so, as they say, "It wasn't me."
All blessings flow from a good mission statement.

LOL.
I am glad that we did not send any diplomats to GS a few months ago... that might have been your return delivery method.
.
The two Perry frigates and the Burke Class destroyer that were on patrol near Jakarta in the event conflict erupted in the Java Sea, are heading south to Australia to Darwin. Australia asked the CoC to move most of the vessels that it conducts extended port-o-call to move to Darwin. The remaining aircraft moved as well to Darwin. Two Visby Corvettes each with a several MAME drones, accompanied by an Freedom LCS with a Sea Lynx and OH--drone, all heading east from Darwin with a Type 23 frigate. A small task force of of several freighters, two tankers and two more Perry frigates sailed into port.

Remarkable to have the last of 10 James Madison Class submarines finally delivered after conversion to SSGN. No longer carrying ICBM, thus no longer SSBN, that used to carry Polaris and then Trident missiles. The submarines carry a mix of cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles along with torpedoes, etc. Some are modified for carrying submersibles and drone UUV. These submarines add to the Ben Franklin Class SSGN submarines able to function as attack subs if needed. Another are the 4 former Ohio Class boomers converted to SSGN layout. Even though training is continuous, crews are finishing the formal training of the last few submarines which will deploy and train at sea.
.
On the former Von Steuben test launch of Tomahawk missiles took place with missile beng fired while on the surface, flying inland to target on training base while Von Steuben was on the surface. An hour later while submerged several Tomahawks and Harpoon anti-ship missiles were fired.
.
In Chad as UAVs flew over, several drones were shot down by the Chinese. In Nigeria, several drones were detected and shot down. Review of the wreckage indicated of Chinese manufacturer, probably Chinese flight control. Chinese have been in Central African Republic and South Sudan, they are seen moving into Chad and moving south into DRC, Democratic Republic of Congo. Asymmetric operations are being conducted by the Chinese influencing the governments and people in the area. CoC executive, political, and military discussions have been taking place to develop plans to counter the Chinese moves in Africa.
Buta and the area around it, in the north of DRC have seen some of the Chinese intervention with some extremely nice visits and at times marching villagers off to a camp. A few have not been seen again.

The Commonwealth announces a purchase to augment their peaceful defense force with 4 B-52 H bombers. Crews for these will come from our B-52 G aircraft, they have been training on simulators for those unique differences between the G and H models.
. An observation of naval comparative stregths: ROD is highly capable with the dominant aircraft carriers & naval air power. Canada is with battleships and torpedo aircraft. PROG, with patrol boats, Camastan with his rubber duck. CoC with SSGN.

**!!! If I were alive, I would taunt you, give you a backwards 'V' with my fingers. !!!***
.
Not sure how to handle the B-52 H planes since the missile launch, but we will muddle through anyway, stiff upper lip an' all.
.
Several Chinese ships left China over the last two weeks in a series. Possibly so as to not bring attention to the sailings of these ships. A few ocean liners, freighters then Ro-Ros. All sailing south then around Singapore, Malayasia, then west to Africa.

SSN Jax is following two Chinese ships heading west, toward Somalia to re-enforce the PLA in Africa. Trafalgar observed several more Chinese ships exit the straights entering the Indian Ocean. Asking for instruction CinC-IN.
. Told to only observe, follow at your option.
. In Chad the Chinese force are organizing, either moving or deploying. Also building up logistics.
. Type 85 Lt tanks advance to the border line of Chad and Nigeria. Chinese are active Kenya. Of course the Chinese use Djibouti as do several other nations.

The YB forces are scary. So the CoC put a recon and containment force on the border.

As you can see from released pictures from the press and a few from drones, CoC Army is on the move in preparation of the Chinese landing in Somalia or Kenya. The Chinese ships are spread across the Indian Ocean in several task force groups. SSGN Marshall is following group two. It is ahead of group 3. The Chinese in Chad are heading south towards Central African Republic.
. The Commonwealth is asking permission from Cameroon to send military forces into Cameroon to pass through to counter the Chinese. Cameroon offered to allow the CoC to use rail, but not highway. This might make the protective force susceptible an attack by the Chinese. It is also a concern that Cameroon may be the target of the Chinese, although it does not appear to be the case as of now. The CoC has been given permission to utilize rail and wheeled vehicles only on their roads. But, they did exclude tanks, artillery, AIFVs on tank haulers. The Commonwealth and Cameron are at somewhat of an impasse. Moving Ratels, Rooikats, jeeps, recon, trucks down several highways. We are under escort by Cameroon.
. The Commonwealth has reached out to Central African Republic (CAR) to alert them of the possible threat and a proposal for aid. They in turn flat declined our offer. Discussion will continue with CAR.
