+From [[1935]]-[[1940]] the Merchant Marine supported the [[Royal Arcerion Naval Service]] during [[Operation Flyhook]] through a "technical support/non-combatant" role as negotiated by the [[Arcerion|Arcer]] admiralty and the [[Navy of Burgundie|Burgoignesc Defense Attache]]. The Merchant Marine was designated as the appropriate intergovernmental conduit because it was not a member of the armed forces. From [[1935]]-[[1937]] two submarine tenders were seconded from the [[Navy of Burgundie]] to the Merchant Marine for this purpose, the {{wpl|HMS Mackay (D70)|Armed Merchantman De Loite}} and the {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1912)|Submarine Tender Femmepier}} and later {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1937)|Submarine Tender Femmepier 1ier Classe}}.
+=====Femmepier=====
+{{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1912)|Submarine Tender Femmepier}} ran aground while being chased by a [[The Cape|Capetian]] destroyer and was scuttled on March 5th, [[1936]]. Her crew was captured by the [[The Cape|Capetians]] and held ransom to stop [[Burgundie]]'s "technical support/non-combatant" to the [[Arcerion]]s. This did no come to pass and a daring raid by the newly created Special Boat Service commandos freed 84 of the 150 men who had been imprisoned after negotiations fell apart in [[1938]]. The rest of the crew and 6 of the 27 commandos died in the ensuing firefight and explosions.
+=====De Loite=====
+{{wpl|HMS Mackay (D70)|Armed Merchantman De Loite}} was designed as a large, fast and heavily armed flotilla leader, commissioned in [[1919]]. She served in this capacity until [[1932]] when she was retrofitted as an combat submarine tender, a role she excelled in. Upon the signing of the agreement between [[Arcerion]] and [[Burgundie]] she was reclassified as an armed merchantman for diplomatic purposes, her crew was transerred to another  ship with the exception of her captain and the deck gunnery crews who were seconded to the {{wpl|United States Navy Armed Guard|Merchant Armed Guard}}.
+=====Femmepier 1ier Classe=====
+After the scuttling of the {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1912)|Submarine Tender Femmepier}}, was replaced with the new {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1937)|Submarine Tender Femmepier 1ier Classe}}. She served
