LRG Thunderchild

== LRG Thunderchild ==
The LRG Thunderchild (Long Rí Garmanach Thunderchild) (originally LRG gCosantóirí) was constructed in the year 242KOR, and was the first ship made for the Garmanese Navy. As such, it was the flagship. After the Battle of Iksis, it was renamed to the LRG Thunderchild for its valiant battle against the Gretian ships.
== Battle of Iksis ==
On June 18th 242, the Thunderchild partook in its maiden mission, it joined the Allied fleet in invading the western land of Iksis, notorious for waging piracy in the seas of the western nations. During the invasion it dropped Templari and Garmanese troops onto the southern shores overnight. The next day, shelling the city itself with the help of the allied fleet. Its initial attempts at bombardment was poor, having no experience in doing so. Eventually, an Iksian fleet appeared over the horizon, in the ensuing battle the Thunderchild was lightly damaged and obliterated one Iksian vessel. After the city had been captured, it docked in Iksis, and after the alarm flags were raised, idled before leaving the dock with its troops who arrived late.
== Battle of the Western Sea ==
In the evacuation of Iksis after an Imperial ship spotted, what were later realised as, three Gretian ships, the Thunderchild lagged behind the main fleet due to its troops not realising the scope of the situation and evacuating the city slowly. As such, the ship was behind the main fleet, but managed to catch up. During the flee, one of the Gretian ships, the H.M.I.V. Acren, gave chase to the Thunderchild. The Admiral MacDiarmúda ordered the ship to be turned away from the main fleet and not let the Gretian ship follow the main fleet home. He then ordered the ship to fire upon the Acren with a cannon volley, severely damaging the Acrens hull, the Acren returned fire with its batteries, destroying the side of the Thunderchild and slowing the ship considerably. Convinced this was his final stand, MacDiarmúda ordered the ship to continue its turn to show its two front powerful naval artillery cannons, the cannons fired upon the Acren, again damaging the hull with its high explosive payload. After this exchange the Acren turned away from the Thunderchild and gave chase to the HMS Resolute before disappearing over the horizon, still in pursuit of the HMS Resolute.

The Thunderchilds final battle took place at the end of 242KOR, fighting against the HMIV Thunderball. The two ships chased and fought one another for several hours before the Thunderchild rammed the Thunderball and sacrificed itself to take down the Thunderball. Both ships sank after the incident, Admiral MacDiarmúda survived to make it back to Fearna but died after speaking to King Caoifhlinn.
