I, Captain Jack Sparrow, former commander of the East India Trading Company's Fair Wind, current captain of the Black Pearl (the Wicked Wench that was) and of the lovely Joanna Joyce do heretofore submit my name for consideration as captain in this venture.
Made Barbados to Freetown in under four weeks. Did the Horn through a hurricane--no casualties. And I've run plenty of cargo. [Illicitly.]
Speed and survival---bring us all home in two shakes, lads and lasses.

[If they are to call upon the alliance, the admiral would rather have eyes and a mouth to read. It helps with the paranoia implicit in dealing with pirates.]
I've seen 'em fly, aye. Better than us---larger wings. That's never been their primary method of attack in the past, but one never knows. And their magic--the Shifters? Is the shifting. Otherwise they're not so hard to kill for normal folk like us.
[Writing, or speaking? The admiral is uncertain with what is expected of him. Damn these infernal books to the bed of the ocean.]
I would imagine that the armoured bastards pose the greatest threat. If allowed to board and gain ground then we might be forced to expend a great deal of time in overcoming even one of them, and if the offensive crew of any one vessel were slowed sufficiently then the entire ship might be swarmed by a winged mass -- whose advantage would lie in agility and tactical versatility.
It would be the work of moments to topple the elites into the sea at the point of boarding and eliminate that threat, and as such it would be prudent to organize a unit with this sole purpose.
Supposing, of course, that our expectations are to be met, which is by no means a certainty.

2) Shifters Watch out for them. Can make magical types feel wonky. Made McCoy's weapon malfunction. Kill immediately.
3) Elite. Hard to kill. Armored wings. Protected by Shifters sometimes. Do not engage alone. Traps?
4) Shift Hunters. Horrid hellhounds; cut off their heads. Sometimes travel in packs. They sense filial magic and follow relentlessly.
5) Horrible killing things in the waters? Not sure what the gem of a Commandant was referring to, but...

2. Are these shifters possessed of any magic of their own?
3. I would wager that heavy armor sinks like mutineers.

And aye---I'd agree with that.

And there's no certainties here, mate. I for one hate politics. Always have.

What of those who cannot fight? Who should not? There will be no place safe for them.
