Flagship Tapparad (Pacifica)

Tapparad (Sedunnic: "the Courageous") is the name given to the flagship of the Sedunnic Navy. The first vessel given that name was captain Linnerse's ship that was the first Sedunnic ship to successfully cross the South Pacific Ocean in 1442, a significant event in Sedunnic maritime history. Ever since, the name is passed on to the designated successor ship, normally a ship that is considered the most powerful vessel of the navy, once its predecessor bearing that name is destroyed or taken out of service. There have been 17 ships with that name.
