The Brothers-In-Arms were notorious for their battle tactics, which involved the two employing a funneling maneuver, quickly moving apart on both sides of an enemy ship in a v-shaped formation to ensure it was flanked between them. Their speed and vectors ensured that any attempt to escape by altering course laterally was futile. Once their target was trapped, they would hit it with devastating broadside volleys.

The Royal Sovereign

The Royal Sovereign was one of five legendary ships encountered by the pirate Edward Kenway in the Caribbean, during the early 18th century. She was the sister ship of HMS Fearless; both were identical, save for the reversed coloring of their sails and hull. They could be found sailing beyond the Bahamas, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

History[edit | edit source]

The Royal Sovereign and her twin ship became notorious for sailing in tandem and for their tactics in naval warfare. They could flank an enemy ship, surrounding her from both sides, and fire upon her with devastating power. If either the Fearless or the Royal Sovereign was sunk, the other one would set herself alight and use her maneuverability to viciously ram the opposing ship. Despite their tandem battle strategies and impressive firepower, both ships were eventually sunk by Kenway's Jackdaw.[1]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Historically, the Royal Sovereign underwent a 'Great Repair' from 1722 to 1725, probably referencing her battle with the Jackdaw. She then remained in service with the Royal Navy until 1768, when she was finally broken up.
  • In real life, the ship was called HMS Royal Sovereign like every other Royal Navy veseel, but the game omits the "HMS" (short for "His/Her Majesty's Ship") from the name for unknown reasons.
