==History==
The ''[[Fox (WarShip class)|Fox]]''-class corvette '''''Admiral Corinne Donnings''''' was under construction in [[3062]] and was expected to join the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]] in [[3065]].<ref name="FM:FSp25">''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 25: "AFFC WarShip Fleet"</ref> The eruption of the [[FedCom Civil War]] altered these plans, and the FCS ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' ended up serving in the forces loyal to [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]. Surviving until the closing stages of the Civil War, the ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' was one of four ''Foxes'' within the task force taken to secure [[New Avalon]] in [[3066]]. Led by the ''[[Avalon]]''-class cruiser [[Melissa Davion (Individual Avalon-class WarShip)|FCS ''Melissa Davion'']]<ref name="FCCWp170">''FedCom Civil War'', p. 170: "New Avalon"</ref> and serving alongside the [[Intrepid (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|FCS ''Intrepid'']], [[Kentares (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|FCS ''Kentares'']] and [[Robinson (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|FCS ''Robinson'']]<ref name="EG??">''Endgame''</ref> the ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' found itself facing Loyalist forces which included two ''Avalon''-class cruisers, the [[Lucien Davion (Individual Avalon-class WarShip)|FCS ''Lucien Davion'']] and [[Alexander Davion (Individual Avalon-class WarShip)|FCS ''Alexander Davion'']],<ref name="FCCWp170"/> and two ''Foxes'', the [[Antrim|FCS ''Antrim'']]<ref name="EG??"/> and [[Murmansk (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|FCS ''Murmansk'']].<ref name="FCCWp170"/> 

With the resulting battle seeing the ''Intrepid'' disabled and the ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' destroyed the ''Kentares'' maneuvered itself into close proximity with the ''Alexander Davion'' and then executed a tactic that shocked both forces - the ''Kentares'' activated her [[K-F Drive]], destroying both ships.<ref name="EG??"/> The ''Kentares'' and the ''Alexander Davion'' were the last ships to be destroyed in the battle, as the ''Lucien Davion'' surrendered after taking heavy damage and the ''Murmansk'' executed a jump from a pirate point, vanishing without trace.<ref name="FCCWp170"/>

== Notes ==
The ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' was listed in ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' as being one of fifteen WarShips in service with the [[Federated Suns]] in the aftermath of the FedCom Civil War, with the caveat that many were undergoing repairs or having their construction finished after launching early during the conflict.<ref name="FM:Up124">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 124: "WarShips of the AFFS"</ref> This contradicts the account of the destruction of the ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' in ''[[Endgame]]'', but is not without precedent. ''[[Field Report: AFFS]]'' confirmed that the [[AFFS]] had fifteen WarShips in service at the beginning of the [[Jihad]].<ref name="FR:AFFSp6">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 6: "Federated Suns Navy"</ref> ''Field Report: AFFS'' doesn't provide a full listing of those fifteen WarShips, but it was subsequently confirmed via an [http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=64093.0 Ask The Writers question on the fate of the (dead link)] [[FCS Fox|FCS ''Fox'']] that the ''Fox'' was still active after the FedCom Civil War and had subsequently been destroyed in the [[Word of Blake]] assault on the shipyards at [[Galax]]. As this would represent a sixteenth WarShip in service with the Federated Suns at the time, it is likely - but not certain - that the mention of the ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' in ''Field Manual: Updates'' is an error, and that the ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' had been mistaken for or substituted for the ''Fox''.

That said, in [[BattleCorps#Solaris Broadcasting Co.|New Avalon Defenders Hold Line, Cripple Blake Flagship]] it explains that this WarShip was destroyed on New Avalon while defending it from the WoB instead of the [[Antrim|FSS ''Antrim'']].
