The Phantom Narwhal is a [[narwhals|narwhal]] that [[Astrobolt]] built in late 2016. So far it (and its several newer versions) has served in eight battles, the first three being victories, fourth being a defeat, fifth being a victory, sixth being a defeat, seventh being a victory, and eighth being a defeat.


The Phantom Narwhal was first built in late 2016 by [[Astrobolt]] when he was in [[Phantom]]. Since then, each addition to the series has been far more advanced than its opponents, each one proving to be one of, if not the strongest and most durable ship/sub on the server at the time. Through this consistent dominance of the seas, the series as a whole has proven itself to be the most successful ship line in PirateCraft history. It consistently packs firepower comparable to the output of large man-o-wars and indiamen, along with defensive advantages such as being a much smaller target, much faster, and made with more durable materials.
The Phantom Narwhal is one of PirateCraft's most famous ships. Having participated in eight of the server's organized ship battles and winning five of them, it is the single-most successful ship in PirateCraft's history.


It should also be noted that v2 ([[#v2_2|see v2 for details]]) is considered to be unstoppable. It is a powerhouse in every respect; its armor is nearly impenetrable and it packs an enormous amount of firepower. It is the only ship to ever be barred from [[Maximus_Terragon]]'s ship battles due to its immense power.
Originally built in late 2016 by [[Astrobolt]] while he was in [[Phantom]], the Phantom Narwhal has served under the flags of some of the PirateCraft's strongest and most significant crews, including the aforementioned [[Phantom]], the [[British Empire]], the [[Asylum]], and its current crew, the [[Narwhal Syndicate]].


__TOC__
The Phantom Narwhal has seen many significant design changes over the years. Starting as a lightly-armored expeditionary submarine with light firepower, it went on to adopt a sleeker, stronger, more war-like design, becoming perhaps the strongest and most feared ship on the server, consistently outperforming even the strongest [[Ships#Galleon|Galleon]], [[Ships#Manowar|Manowar]], and [[Ships#Indiaman|Indiaman]] class ships.


== Designations ==


All [[narwhals]] are designated as seen fit. More designations may be added in the future if necessary.

v1 and its sub-categories (v1.1, v1.2, etc.) are retired. They were used for all [[narwhals]] resembling the original Phantom Narwhal. (v1)


=== v2 ===
It should also be noted that v2 ([[#v2_2|see v2 for details]]) is considered to be unstoppable. It is a powerhouse in every respect; its armor is nearly impenetrable and it packs an enormous amount of firepower. It is the only ship to ever be barred from [[Maximus_Terragon]]'s ship battles due to its immense power.
v2 and its sub-categories are reserved for heavily-armored [[narwhals]], such as those from the Battles of Freeport.


=== v3 ===
__TOC__
v3 and it's sub-categories are reserved for [[narwhals]] resembling the current v3. They have less armor than v2 but similar firepower. These are typically seen in the Battles of Battle Bay.


== List of Narwhals ==
== List of Narwhals ==


=== v1 ===
=== First Generation ===
v1 (first design) - only was built. It served in the Battle on the High Seas, the First Battle of Ship Wreck Isle, and the Second Battle of Ship Wreck Isle. Its final resting place is the [[Narwhal HQ]].
v1 (no formal name) - Only one was built. It was the first design and fought in the Battle on the High Seas, the First Battle of Ship Wreck Isle, and the Second Battle of Ship Wreck Isle. Its current location is the [[TAS Sea]].
 
v1.1 (no formal name) - Three were built. They all fought in the First Battle of Freeport; two were destroyed and the remaining one, piloted by [[Astrobolt]], was temporarily disabled and ultimately survived the battle. The surviving one also fought in the Second Battle of Freeport, where it won, and the Fourth Battle of Freeport, where it lost. It is currently in the [[TAS Sea]]. Additionally, the ruins of one of the destroyed ones from the First Battle of Freeport has been converted into a permanent museum and is still at Freeport.


v1.1 (second design) - three were built. They all served in the First Battle of Freeport. Two were destroyed in that battle. (the ruins of one of them is at Freeport) The remaining one served in the Second and Fourth Battles of Freeport. Its final resting place is the [[Narwhal HQ]].
=== Second Generation ===
Invictus Class - Only one was built. It was deemed too powerful for organized battles by [[Maximus_Terragon]] and therefore was never used. It remains the only ship to ever be barred from any organized ship battle for such reasons. It is currently located in the [[TAS Sea]].


=== v2 ===
Audax Class - Only one was built. It served as a slightly less-armored substitute for the Invictus Class with comparable firepower and fought in the Eighth Battle of Freeport, winning a decisive victory. It is currently located in the [[TAS Sea]].
v2 (third design) - only one was built. It was deemed too powerful for battle by [[Maximus_Terragon]] and was therefore never used in battle. It is currently at the [[Narwhal HQ]].


v2.1 (fourth design) - only one was built. This was the substitute for v2. It featured slightly less armor but similar firepower. It served in the Eighth Battle of Freeport. It is currently at the [[Narwhal HQ]].
Impavida Class - Only one was built. Its design was a quasi-hybrid of the Invictus and Audax Classes, featuring better-armored walls than the Audax Class, but a less durable floor and ceiling. It fought in the First Battle of Battle Bay where it came in second place. In early 2020, about a year after [[Astrobolt]] was banned, it was stolen by LEGQ and kept as a museum ship. On September 10, 2022, as a result of rising tensions between the [[Narwhal Syndicate]] and [[CosaNostra]], [[RoMich02]] and Legionpvps destroyed it. While this was certainly done with malicious intent, it should be noted that this is exactly what [[Astrobolt]] wanted to happen, as it is the policy of the [[Narwhal Syndicate]] that all lost or missing assets should either be recovered promptly or destroyed entirely.


=== v3 ===
=== Third Generation ===
v3 (fifth design) - only one was built. It served in the First Battle of Battle Bay and is currently near Battle Bay so that it is ready for future battles.
Osiris Class - The Osiris Class Phantom Narwhal is an experimental prototype that has not yet been built. It primarily improves on the Invictus Class design, adding even more armor and even more cannons. The end goal for the ongoing design process is to create a ship that is both able to receive massive amounts of damage and give massive amounts of damage in return, making it virtually unsinkable.
