Of the cities you have written to, all have written back. Of these, only Ostium Hispaniensis has stated that it will not be able to meet it's quota, due to the fact that storms over the winter killed many fishermen. As a result, they can only provide 3 biremes.

The rest of the force will be raised. All of the cities you have written to have stated that they will serve for the majority of summer and fall, but that they cannot extend their services past that, due to fishing season.
