Ensure all persons who might require interaction with the Fleet are updated with the new capabilities and designations. Note that the pre-commissioning CSSF designation is retired upon entering active service as a commissioned vessel in the Family Clan Short Fleet.

The following are the hull designations as determined by Patriarch Cory Short: (Note that classification is determined by capabilities, not hull design. This is different than other naval vessels, but is a logical change due to the Fleet being based initially on converted ships and boats)
