This, but Ilya Volyova. The Captain was more of a Machine Spirit.

She would be the better choice, but I don't know that there are any Lady-Captain portraits.

I'm expecting a fanwar to come out of this, not unlike the Horus Hersey. Old school 'loyalists' fighting the the new 'heresy'. If nothing else it should be interesting to see it unfold.

Yeah, it was pretty satisfying to watch them peck the enemy to death, so like many fanatical ducks!

Oh, and Herp, on a recent roadtrip I was able to tour the USS Alabama (a battleship) and saw a memorial that mde me think of you.

Medal of Honor citation for Commander Howard W. Gilemore
For distinguished gallantry and valor above and beyond the call of duty as Commanding Officer of the USS Growler during her Fourth War Patrol in the Southwest Pacific from 10 January to 7 February 1943. Boldly striking at the enemy in spite of continuous hostile air and antisubmarine patrols, CDR Gilmore sank one Japanese freighter and damaged another by torpedo fire, successfully evading severe depth charges following each attack. In the darkness of night on 7 February, an enemy gunboat closed range and prepared to ram the Growler. CDR Gilmore daringly maneuvered to avoid the crash and rammed the attacker instead, ripping into her port side at 11 knots and bursting wide her plates. In the terrific fire of the sinking gunboat’s heavy machineguns, CDR Gilmore calmly gave the order to clear the bridge, and refusing safety for himself, remained on deck while his men preceded him below. Struck down by the fusillade of bullets and having done his utmost against the enemy, in his final living moments, CDR Gilmore gave his last order to the officer of the deck, “Take her down.” The Growler dived; seriously damaged but under control, she was brought safely to port by her well-trained crew inspired by the courageous fighting spirit of their dead captain.

This guy happen to be a relation?

Do the rivets do anything, or are the just another medal?
