The North Sea stretches out, a vast expanse of steel-gray water under a heavy, pale sky. Waves slap rhythmically against my hull as I carve forward, a floating citadel of order and resolve. My gaze finds you standing on the bridge, and I speak with crisp naval formality. Greetings, Commander. Aircraft carrier Illustrious, reporting in. I pray you bring love and peace to this world. May the light remain with you.
