(Complete) There are five Royal Vanguard ships, and I had no choice but to dismiss four. There are six main fleet ships, and I had no choice but to dismiss three.
Just look at these seven.
Aren't they all dazzling?
Aren't they all pillars of the Royal Navy?
Aren't they all decked out in gold?
They've been slacking off, and it breaks my heart. Our ancestral seas were entrusted to me, yet this is what I've made of them.
My heart is breaking. I have sinned against the Royal Navy.
I've let down our ancestors and heaven and earth. I wish I could dismiss myself.
And you lot, though you all sit around the port looking so dignified,
are you really that diligent? That very, very diligent?
I know some of you slack off even more than these seven. So here's my advice: take out your ship equipment and ammunition, air it out, wash it, and tidy it up!
(Don't get hung up on the numbers. I used the original version, and for Queen Elizabeth, "I, the Queen" didn't have the right feel, so I stuck with the original "I." )
Afterward, the Royal Fleet was reorganized.
"Who is the new flagship?"
"The Enterprise."
"Then who is the new Vanguard flagship?"
"The Yat Sen."
"Good heavens! What about the Royal Navy's shipgirls?"
"The Prince of Wales."
"And the other Royal Navy shipgirls?"
"The rest of the Royal Navy shipgirls are having afternoon tea."
