She styles herself in accordance to the historical nature of the vessel she represents with an emphasis on her upper body, which captivates many who lay their eyes upon her. She joins the Joint Military Exercise as a proud member of Royal Navy, assisting her allies along the way to victory.

Belfast

She knows exactly how to approach others; she treats her superiors with dignity, she treats her friends openly, and she treats her enemies with respect. The skills she exhibits in battle come from a wide study of various subjects which have taught her how to do her very best in battle. Her daily life is meant to serve the Royal Navy with the grace it deserves. It seems as if she's in charge of security at the Joint Military Exercise, but...

Formidable

The third Illustrious-class ship, and affiliated with the Royal Navy. Much like her older sister Illustrious, she's a royal lady who's elegant (?) and lovely.
