N/V Crown | 65 Meter Nuclear Car Ferry
Stormlink compatible and sinkable
Story
Her keel was laid down on the 24th September 2009 (SW Time). That was done in the CoolYards shipyard in terminal spycakes. She was built for Cool Line and was to be a flagship. The vessel really was a flagship for quite some time, she received the title on the 15th July 2011 (SW Time) when she was finished. Just later that year, the ship entered service. The N/V Crown wouldn’t really have a fixed route, as she would be switched between high demand journeys a lot. For her time and even for today’s time, she was incredibly modern. The vessel would also be really fast, capable of achieving the speeds of 46 knots. Her interiors wouldn’t be bad either, they were decorated in a sleek cozy style, she even had a pool. The ship wouldn’t lack in safety either, having one of the first inflatable rafts in Stormworks. It wasn’t only the rafts that made her safe, it was also thanks to her well built hull and good materials. The only incident she ever suffered was when a tanker rammed her at 20 knots near Holt town on the 1st January 2016 (SW Time). This fortunately didn’t cause any deaths, only a few injuries on the tanker, as the ship stopped quickly when she hit. The Crown escaped with a big dent in her hull and a lot of scratched paint. The tanker had to be towed, but the N/V Crown got to the port on her own. Today, the ship is still in her prime. Her flagship tilte may have been taken from her, but people and her crew still love her.
