Nautilus (Final Fantasy III)

The Nautilus is a high-speed Saronian airship used to fly against intense winds in Final Fantasy III. It is obtained after defeating the Garuda in Saronia, replacing the recently destroyed Enterprise. 
== Acquiring ==
After ending Saronia's civil war, the player needs to head to Saronia Castle's courtyard and enter the eastern building. The engineers there will tell the party they unearthed an ancient airship. The Nautilus will be restored and made available.
== Use ==
The Nautilus is mainly used to fly against strong winds. It also has the advantage over the Enterprise that it can land on the ground, saving the time and battles of traveling from the sea to one's destination. A disadvantage is that it cannot land on the sea, preventing the player from fighting sea-based monsters for the bestiary collection if they have not already been encountered in pre-Pixel Remaster versions.
The Nautilus is later enchanted to dive underwater. While in its submarine form, the party can explore the ocean floor and several dungeons that were previously inaccessible. It is still available for the party to use after the Invincible is obtained, and is faster than the Invincible, but lacks the healing, shop, and Fat Chocobo benefits.

==Behind the scenes==
In the English version remake, it is stated that Cid Haze invented the Nautilus, while simultaneously claiming it to have been found in "Ancient ruins". The Japanese version posits that Cid resurrected the airship.
