SNN Standing Orders ..to date



R 31125Z JAN 08

FR: VICE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS - SSN
TO: ALL COMMANDS - SSN
Subj: STANDING ORDER SSN08.1 Foreign Language Usage for Mission Reports

1. By order of the Chief of Naval Operations, ADM Adui, and with support of the senior staff; it has been decided that as of this date mission reports can be written in the native language of the reporting officer. Sea Wolves is a world wide online gaming community and we need never forget that. Our brothers and sisters in foreign countries for the past 10 years have had to convert and struggle at times to write mission reports in English. As of today this is no longer the case.

2. Submarine Surface Navy (SSN) Officers that are more comfortable writing in their native language can do so without repercussion from the chain of command. In today's technology world their are many translators that can be used, which for the past 10 years our foreign speaking members had to use, to decipher mission reports that are not in English. If an officer wishes to write in their native language and then use a converter and paste the mission description then that will be acceptable as well. I know that conversions do not always make sense due to the English use of verbs and adverbs in their sentence structure. I am asking that ALL officers of the SSN Division support this standing order and comply with it's core purpose.

3. All Fleet Commanders, Training Commanders will ensure this message gets to all their officers and or cadets under their charge. Any questions, comments or concerns can be sent directly to the Vice Chief of Naval Operations - SSN for review, comment or consideration. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in advance. Let's make 2008 the best Sea Wolves year yet.

SCS Naval Combat Pack

From: CAPT Adui DCNO SVN*
Subject: +SCS Naval Combat Pack


<S>Fleet Commanders,

Get this information to your fleets ASAP.

There has been some confusion as to the official status of the games re-released in Naval Combat Pack by Sonalyst Combat Simulations inc.

To eliminate the confusion, partly my fault due to my early stance on the 688i game, the following is standing orders on this matter until revoked by myself or the CNO-SVN:

All games released in the Naval Combat Pack are considered official sims and are allowed for scoring by ANY SVN officer who chooses to do so. However, Due to the nature of this package we are still testing these sims for bugs. Therefore, it is also hereby ordered by my office that any and all glitches or problems, perceived or otherwise, be reported to the R&D department, and CC'd to me for further study.
My instructions for installing and using the SCS 688i version were released not to long ago. The install instructions for FC should be pretty accurate on the website, see CDR Havoc for any questions on that sim.
There are currently no divers for SC that I know of at this time, however as that too is still a recognised SW-SVN game feel free to use it as well.

SW scenarios are to be used for all dives as per normal SOP.

I can be contacted if there are any policy questions or concerns via the normal chain of command.

Thank you,

SVN Policy updates
Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2006 12:05:05 -0800 (PST)
From: CAPT Adui DCNO SVN*
Subject: +SVN Policy updates

Inactive officers: The time limit per dive has been extended to 45 days, until January 31st 2007, pending further consideration by the CoC.. However, military personnel, ( this means ONLY those we know, or can reasonably believe are military), will be placed on in fleet leave indefinitely with or without having given prior notice.
For all others, after November 30th any officer who is beyond 45 days will be sent to the inactive fleets.
Records for officers inactive more than 3 calendar months will be backed up and deleted from the rosters.
Inactive officers can at anytime before this request ELOA status, and will be considered on a case by case status.

In fleet leave: Any officer NOT placed on leave due to military deployment, MUST keep in touch with the FC of that fleet on at least a biweekly basis or they will be sent to the ELOA fleet and be constrained to the one year limit there. So long as the officer keeps in touch and His/her FC believes they are in earnest he/she may keep them on leave as long as he/she deems appropriate for that persons specific situation. If an officer can not reasonably expect to keep in touch with His/her FC every other week, but expects to be able to return within 4 weeks or so, the FC may keep them in fleet. Anyone needing longer leave time without the ability to maintain contact must request ELOA.

ELOA: Any officer who requests ELOA, or is administratively placed there for any reason has up to one year to maintain this status WITHOUT the need for contact until he/she is able to return to us. However; any officer that does not make contact by the time his year is up will be summarily deleted, records backed up, WITHOUT any notice, inactive period, or recourse. Any officer who has kept in touch, and is just overdue will either be given an extension, or be transfered to the inactive fleet. This decision is made on a case by case basis by the DCNO-SVN, or above.

Returning officers who have been discharged:

Returning officers who have been discharged: 17 Thursday, April 26, 2007 9:59 AM
1) Officers discharged by reason of inactivity or ELOA discharges can petition the CoC to be reinstated. This will be considered on a case by case basis. Any officer who attained rank above LTJG before leaving and held a staff position of any kind will be reinstated to there final rank upon leaving Sea Wolves. Officers petitioning for reinstatement who did not hold any office will be reinstated to one rank below the final rank they held before leaving. (Example- Returning LCDR is now a LT)
2) Officers who resigned, and return will be reinstated as follows, no petition needed: Any officer who attained rank above LTJG before resigning and held a staff position of any kind will be reinstated to there final rank upon leaving Sea Wolves. Officers returning who did not hold any office will be reinstated to one rank below the final rank they held before leaving. (Example- Returning LCDR is now a LT)  
3) Returning flag officers, (Admiral and above) will ALWAYS be reinstated to there final rank in SVN, as if they were retired.  
4) the above reinstatements will include a 60 day activity probation. If the officers can not maintain contact regularly AND hold the minimum 30 day dive requirement they will be reduced in rank to ENS and will be forced to attain rank as any new member does.

ROE Changes
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 20:33:10 -0700 (PDT)
From: CAPT Adui DCNO SVN*
Subject: +ROE Changes

<S> Officers of the SVN,
Effective immediately there are a few changes to ROE. For the moment these are all temporary changes, and will have a definite end.

The dive requirement is extended to once in 45 days, until January 31st 2007 . This will allow us to keep those delinquent a bit longer, and hopefully give grace to get them going.
To my FC's, No officer will be sent inactive regardless of dive delinquency until after November 30 2006.

Fleet level bounties are hereby reopened under the old rules, as I remember them.
Officers at or below the rank of the bounty officer will receive the NAM and 15 bonus points for taking the bounty. Officers above the rank will receive 5 bonus points and the NAM for taking the bounty. Your FC's are ordered to administer bounties as they see fit beyond that, with a maximum bounty time of one calendar month per officer. (EG they can decide how to pass on the bounty and if the bounty can be collected more than once per bounty officer.)
Understand this FC's, I expect to begin seeing bounty reports from every fleet, and I want to be notified of each bounty officer as he or she is assigned.

At the VN level the same rules apply, except that the officer who takes the bounty will then become the bounty officer till he is sunk in a bounty dive.


That is all for now.
