HMS Spren

The HMS Spren is the flagship of the Royal Navy. Although hundreds of years old, and having being the first ship to break the Woodish Line at the Battle for the Great Bay, sustaining significant damage, it is still seaworthy and is moored at Navy Dock, Montpierre. It is a colossally large vessel, visible from well over a mile away, and as tall as the Moon Tower, City of Montpierre. The ship is, to date, the only man-made object to have been awarded the King's Cross, the highest award for bravery and is a symbol of solidarity, pride, nationalism and strength within the Rainlands. Despite the cost of its upkeep, it is supported by several charitable organisations and the government.

The Flag of the HMS Spren is representative of the Battle for the Great Bay. The anchor represents the Spren's steadfastness at the centre of the enemy lines, allowing yellow (the royal colour of the Rainlands) to seep through and surround the enemy vessels. Prior to this, the Spren had no flag. Only the finest warships are awarded flags of their own; other simply use the flag of the Royal Navy.
