Saint Nicolaas of Myra

St. Nicolaas is a light frigate of the Knights of Rhodes. Her primary mission is to hunt pirates.

Saint Nicolaas of Myra is named after the patron Saint of Sailors.

Performance

Together with Saint John the Baptist, St. Nicolas is on an ongoing mission in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea to fight piracy in the Gulf of Adan, and off the coast of Somalia.

So far Saint Nicolaas of Myra has been the most successful ship active in that region, sinking and or capturing forty-five suspicious vessels.

To show off this amazing performance, the crew has painted six Sacred Hearts on the side of their ship. One for every seven victories.
