"Her presence in a task force was the morale equivalent of an extra task force of much greater size."
Admiral Vance, Pilotmario Navy

The most decorated warship in the Pilotmario Navy, the Frigate Ardent, represented Marian naval superiority in all three Olympian Wars. Often fighting ships many times her size, she was able to defeat these vessels. Because of this legacy, she is known by the League of Olympia Navy as the "Honeybadger," due to her small size and great ferocity.

Her main armament consists of three 120mm naval cannon mounted in three turrets across the centerline. Press (1) to activate the forward 2 batteries and (2) to activate the stern battery. These are configured so as to be able to fire a full broadside. All turrets are controlled with roll for traverse and pitch for elevation. She also has numerous weapons turrets for close-range air defense, the port machine guns are activated by pressing (4) and the starboard machine guns are activated by pressing (5). Pressing (3) allows the mast "cockpit" to traverse, allowing you to lock onto long-range targets with the missiles.

The ship is configured as it is today. She is a veteran of many battles, and most famously took part in the Grand Escape as the command ship for the commando operation which rescued Marian diplomats held hostage by Olympian forces.

This ship will take up plenty of processing power, and will probably crash the game on mobile or on a low-powered computer. You have been warned.
