June Fade ends in success

Operation June Fade had ended after a successful exercise involving DDS bombers and minesweeping assets. Two Quasar 15A simulated an attack run in hostile space (Porquatian ships acting as the "hostiles") with Pentekonter 44M minesweepers clearing a "path" for the bombers again under enemy attack.

One problem was found with the new DMS minesweeping systems fitted to the newest DDS minesweepers in that they suffered a software crash twice during the exercise though after a reboot they were found. The DDS will issue a software update for DMS by the end of next week.
