The Aquila was a Continental Navy vessel, captained by the Assassin Connor Kenway, during the American Revolutionary War. The vessel was used by Kenway to sail across the Eastern Seaboard of North America and the Caribbean Sea.
Armaments
The Aquila's cannon projectiles included standard round shots; chain-shots to disable enemy ships' masts; grapeshot, shrapnel shells and heated shots to start fires. The ship was also armed with swivel cannons that could be used to snipe certain targets like a captain or the gunpowder reservoir.
Trivia
- "Aquila," the Latin word for "eagle", is another reference to the eagle motif of the Assassins, which Aquilus' name is derived from. It was also the constellation that contained the star which the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was named after.
- Matt Turner said Connor can freeroam the seas in the Aquila.
