[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.
