A Kurona Navy Sailor Aboard the Classic H.M.S. Raven
The HMS raven is not an active battle ship although equiped with modern guns. Generally the ship is used as either a transport for the Princess, or otherwised more commonly used as a long range trainer for newcommers in the Navy. Because the ship is the oldest of the fleet and shows of Kurona's isolation era it's considered a nobility to sail aboard. Even veteran sailors still love to sail aboard the ship. Some Kuronan schools will even take students on the ship and sail around Kurona.
Ship Features
The ship while having no electricity does have running showers. This is a fairly new additon.
