Force Voth to be beefed up

When presenting the latest fleet deployment (which can be seen on this site) the DDS said that the pressure on the DDS fleet had eased considerably over recent weeks and would further improve when Ensuring Passage ended in a couple of weeks. A new exercise is planned to begin next month but will be mainly amphibious exercises so will not require that many fleet escorts.

Force Voth is to be strengthened with a dedicated detachment on Apassara. A cruiser and two more escorts are likely to be sent to join the force in a week or so. The DDS have denied this is a reaction to recent Bolitic manoeuvres though everyone knows it is!
