Personality

As a carrier of the Illustrious class, her sisters would be Illustrious, Victorious and Indomitable. She is a respectful woman who usually puts on an indifferent face when in public and talking with the commander. For this, even though she doesn’t seem like it, inside she wants to have fun and enjoy her time with others but can only do so with those close to her like Illustrious. She also likes to drink tea and eat crumpets with the commander whenever she has time. Prior to her launch, the wooden cradle supporting Formidable broke and launched the ship accidentally. She was given the nickname "The Ship who Launched Herself" and is now the source of "heavy" jokes. Plus she may or may not be the cause of seismic activity in the Royal Navy. Either way, she hates being called heavy and will always deny it with an embarrassed face.
