HMS Fortissimo was the lead ship of the Fortissimo Class. It was the largest ship in the Kapresh Sea Force.
History
The HMS Fortissimo was created on 5 October 2019 after Jackson I of Kapreburg being inspired by the HMS Borealis to create his own ship for Kapreburg.
Sinking of the HMS Fortissimo
On 9 October 2019, Jackson I of Kapreburg and Ayden Birdwhistle took the HMS Fortissimo out to Natalie Creek in Yunallia for it's maiden voyage. It drifted down the creek a little bit, but eventually got stuck under a tunnel, which connected the 2 sides of the creek. Ayden Birdwhistle considered going under to save it, but later cancelled; although Ayden Coleman has said that he would go down and save the ship.
Rescue mission
On 13 October 2019, Ayden Coleman and Kenny Mahl set out to find the HMS Fortissimo in Natalie Creek. They were under the tunnel for about 7 minutes, but did not find anything. They were both awarded the Royal Medal of Peace for their sacrifice and were offered to join the Kapresh Coast Guard, which they both accepted.
Name
The HMS Fortissimo's name comes from the dyanmic in music, the fortissimo, which means to play a note very loudly. The word fortissimo comes from Italian for strong.
