Which side are you on? Are you the enemy? I’m not sure that any of that matters, friends, enemies. So long as there’s mercy. Always mercy.
Today, this becomes my ship. It is called Trafalgar, after a great victory, when this country defeated a tyrant who threatened our very existence. We have our travails now. We have suffered a blow in Kabul. Brave men have perished in the snows of the Khyber Pass. We mourn their loss. But, as a soldier’s daughter, I know this nation has the greatest armed forces in the world. We will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. And the spirit of Trafalgar burns as bright now as it has ever done.
