HMS Fearless was one of five legendary ships and one of the Brothers-In-Arms, the other is the Royal Sovereign. They were encountered by the pirate Edward Kenway in the Caribbean, during the 18th century. 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.
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.
If either Fearless or the Royal Sovereign was sunk, the other one would set herself alight and use her speed and maneuverability to incessantly ram the enemy ship and switch to Heavy Shot, which invariably destroyed the opposing vessel unless she was too damaged to survive more than a few successful strikes from the enemy ship's weapons.
Despite their tandem battle strategies and impressive firepower, both ships were eventually sunk by Kenway's Jackdaw.
Tactics
It's suggested to attack both ships at the same time to avoid fighting the other one turning completely aggresive. Use mortars to damage both ships while using Heavy Shot or Chain Shot if one of the ships gets too close to The Jackdaw. If you choose to solely damge and destroy one of the ships first and fight the other "enraged" ship, fight it as if it were a slow El Impoluto.
