Small Minefield: Deiphobe- One of the most effective methods of defending a naval base is the placement of a minefield. Freya would like to begin by placing a small minefield around Deiphobe, limiting the approaches that escorts can make and inflicting some damage on approaching cruisers. She has a whole collection of plans to enlarge or thicken this minefield, increasing the defence it provides.

Formal Education- While Freya has been taught a lot about Naval Command by her brother she lacks a formal education in these matters.
