The Royal Sovereign was one of five legendary ships, encountered by the pirate Edward Kenway in the Caribbean, during the 18th century. She was the sister ship of the 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.
The Royal Sovereign was historically one of the two Flagships that fought at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The ship was captained by Admiral Collingwood.
The pair 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 firing upon her with devastating power. If either Fearless or Royal Sovereign was sunk, the other one would set herself alight and use her manoeuvrability to viciously ram the opposing ship.
Despite their tandem battle strategies and impressive firepower, both ships were eventually sunk by Kenway's Jackdaw.
