Sea Battle of the Fictional Ships
Was Battleship your favorite game as a child ? Is it still ? Here’s your opportunity to reacquaint yourself with the game ! Pick your favorite naval ships and sink their opponents to lead them to victory !
A few rules (the important stuff is in bold) :
We're talking naval ships. Spatial ships are banned, non military ships are allowed.
They have to be fictional. Mythological is alright. Religion-related is debatable. Fictionalised real ships are up to debate.
If someone/something can shapeshift (yes, I know what my pfp looks like) but their boat form is not their main one, don't submit them.
All kinds of ships are fine (unclear, rafts, battleships, yachts, pirate ships, canoes, barges, drakkars/longships, etc). Sentient is okay.
Unnamed is alright but be specific in your description if there are several ships in your media (identify by owner, passagers, physical characteristics or whatever)
There are 3 ships that'll make it automatically in the bracket. I'm not disclosing which ones to know how to seed them (spoilers : they're really well known, they'll be submitted but I don't know at which rate)
Submit as many ships as you want but only once each, please
I can't think of any more rules at the time. My askbox is open if I've forgotten to specify anything.
Submissions close on May 15th unless I get too many of them but I'll warn you at least three days before I close them anyway. If I don’t get enough, I’ll just keep them open for two more weeks or something
Submissions are open
It's been almost a week and I've been procrastinating so I guess I'll just tag some of my favorite tournament blogs and hope they'll reblog this.

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.
But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.
She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!

The Apotheosis of Nelson by Pierre-Nicolas Legrand de Lérant
Admiral Nelson, the British naval hero of the Napoleonic wars, was fatally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). In this allegorical scene, Mars, the helmeted god of war, welcomes him onto Mount Olympus, the home of the ancient gods. Nelson's ascent is assisted by Poseidon, god of the seas, and Fame, depicted as a woman with wings, among others. Below, on the ship's deck, Britannia, the female personification of Great Britain, bids farewell to her greatest naval hero. At her feet are one of the Fates and grief-stricken members of the crew. This is a preparatory study for a painting exhibited in Bern (Switzerland) in 1818. It is one of the few surviving works by Legrand, whose career bridged the transition between the Neoclassical and Romantic styles.

History of Pelsho. Part-2
The Wars Of The Princes: This is a complex time, a time of tribes and warlords of the sea. Of colonization and of plague. It officially starts at 78-YAR.
They came from the other side of the island they came on many ships of cobbled steel, teak, and oak. They came from the south. These Roving Princes. Warlords one would call them. Yet about them was culture and even honor. All in all there are three princedoms that have appeared on the island. Two rival fleets, The Korzairi, and the Monduq, and one which had dwelled in the northern island’s moorlands, The Hagrin. The Korzairi had a fast fleet of small ships. Who had come from the west after it had become fully uninhabitable. They were technologically advanced armed with hydrogen propelled arrow cannons and rockets. The Korzairi raided the coastal settlements until they were given land by the Cedar Mask Culture. As well as one of their princesses to cement the alliance between the two peoples. The Prince of the Korzairi would be the one to betray his people and try to cement power for himself. For in the moment that he had joined his people to the Cedar Mask culture. Their combined fleets would be the largest in the region and none could oppose them. But this only worked in part. Around a third of his people settled with him though he became the undisputed king of Cedar-Korzairi. While the other Korzairi moved south and encountered the Monduq. The Monduq ships are massive but few in number. Made of thick fire-resistant wood from the far south. They had come here fleeing plague. But had brought it with them. They traded with the Korzairi for a time. But this caused them to spread said plague. That the Korzairi had no resistance to. They learned swiftly that the things traded were full of sickness and that the Monduq knew of this sickness. So were the seeds of hatred sown among the Korzairi and the Monduq. The Monduq are skilled alchemists with slit pupiled eyes. Who use hydraulic mangonels that hurl burning pots of liquor-jelly. Their ships are dragon-winged and dark are their many towers along their sides. Their ships though are made wholly of heavy teak, and strange denser woods. So too was their armor. Which was thick though light for its size was nearly impossible to pierce. Save by the Powers of Potence or by legacy Volley guns, and Korzairi Rockets. Though their armor only protects their chest and head. When they landed on the eastern side of the islands. They bargained for seeds for the ones that they brought would not grow in the bogs, rocky slopes or moors. Save for one. The potato. This caused some trouble. As the land grew thick with wild food. The people of it died of the plague that the Monduq brought. Eventually the Rogue Korzairi and the Hagrin met and devised a plan to drive the Monduq away. It was a wild success. Destroying their fleet while they were having barnacles scraped off below the cliffs which hid the homes of the Hagrin. They knew an hour of doom had come to them. When the fleet of the Korzairi came around the fjord. They were crushed between the Korzairi fleet that bombarded and eventually destroyed their ships with a hail of rocket fire. It drove them against the cliffs where the Hagrin came pouring out of arrayed for battle. They killed the Monduq there until they were tired. The swords, and great-flails of the Hagrin used in this battle, Were said to be perpetually stained black by the patina of blood, and the smoke of the burning Monduq ships. It is also said that the shields of the Monduq were also stained black in this when their marines were able to form a shieldwall. Still a great number of the Monduq died here and they were reduced from eleven thousand to a mere two hundred. Those two hundred fled into the northern mountains being hounded by the Hagrin. There they founded their city and found a pleasant valley. Which they began plotting their vengeance against the Hagrin and the Korzairi. Incidentally this was the beginning of guerilla warfare on the continent itself. As the Monduq multiplied in secret they fought the Old Pipes Culture. Which was allied to the Hagrin.
