It's a substitution cypher. Noting that St^3 Jon wrote Xmas instead of
Christmas, we observe that "Fleet Bk v2" has the same number of letters as
"Happy Xmas." Note the double P in Happy coresponds with the double E in
Fleet. Apparently the cypher base shifts with each word, since the "L" in
Fleet is represented by an A, and there is also an A in Xmas, where is
probably means "v" for "volume", or possibly "zero" for a reading "Fleet
Bk02".

No, I'm just quick at jumping to conclusions. But if you like, pick a PAU
fleet (mostly ESU with some NAC) and I'll run an Islamic Fleet squadron
against it by email. Thanks for the offer....

Wishing you a HAPPY XMAS and a good and prosperous 2000!

(See, absolutely no mention of the "M" word....)

All the best,
