Ships of the Singapore Cavalry: Bismarck, Tripitz, Independence. They form a battlegroup which is called Task Force Unicorn
Origins: Bismarck and Tripitz are based on the same class of battleship that was in the German Fleet in World War 2. Independence is a battle carrier and is a hybrid between a Essex-class Fleet Aircraft Carrier in world war 2 and a Yamato-class battleship in World war 2. The Unicorns of the Singapore Cavalry created the ships using magic. These ships was designed in such a way that it only needed one Unicorn to control and use its weapon systems. All ships have the capability of inter-dimension travel which is used to facilitate its movement from the human world to Equestria. Its main role is to bring Singapore Cavalry's military hardware in and out of Equestria.
RSS Bismarck:
Commander: Raynen (Real name is classified)
Personality: She is always fighting ahead of the battlegroup. She is eager to see combat and hates being in the docks for long periods of time. Sometimes she will ignore orders for her to stay in port and will sail out in the open seas. She has the most combat experience in the battlegroup. Being the first ship to charge into combat, it is not hard to see why. She is a loyal Unicorn and would not mind taking several hits from enemy fire to protect her friends. She is also very honest, and hates lying for other Unicorns. Her personality made her a dangerous Unicorn in command of the ship, but the admiral confirmed that she is the right Unicorn for the job.
Armament: 8xRapid fire 16 inch cannons, 8x8.8cm guns (4 on starboard and 4 on port side),10 fighters, Phalanx Ciws, Surface to Air Missiles, Surface to Surface missiles, Torpedos (Vertical launch and tube launched) and depth charges

Cruising Speed: 30 knots (55.58 km/h; 34.53 mph), top speed is 35 knots (64.82 km/h; 40.3 mph) if required
RSS Tripitz:
Commander: Rachel (Real name is classified)
Personality: She has the least combat experience in the entire battlegroup. Staying behind to protect the carrier, She is rarely exposed to enemy fire as Bismarck or the planes on the carrier would have take care of the threat. She is reserved and does not like to talk much unless she is with the Unicorns she knows very well. She is kind and loves to be with other animals. During her patrols, if she sees dolphins in the water, she would sail at the speed the dolphin is swimming at, which leads her to return to the port late. She is timid and rarely fire her guns unless absolutely necessary.She maintains a diary and often writes about the sea creatures she has met when patrolling, once she even got to sail alongside Godzilla, but her friends dismiss it as false and say it is her imagination. Despite that, she believes that she has sailed alongside him one time and has learned more about him. If she was ever to have to shoot at Godzilla, she would keep her guns silent. It is for this reason that Bismarck was chosen to be sent to Equestria to 'kill' Godzilla's offspring.
Armament: 8xRapid fire 16 inch cannons, 8x8.8cm guns (4 on starboard and 4 on port side),10 fighters, Phalanx Ciws, Surface to Air Missiles, Surface to Surface missiles, Torpedos (Vertical launch and tube launched) and depth charges

RSS Independence:
Commander: Unity (Nickname: Indy)
Personality: He is the heart of the battlegroup. Being a aircraft carrier and a battleship, he carries a heavy responsibility in operating the ship. He is calm when place under pressure and follows order to a tee. It was said if he ever disobey an order, it would be an accomplishment for the him. He is friendly to other Unicorns. He mainly serves as the main target of any enemy force and has seen her fair share of combat. He often stay close to Tripitz for protection. Some say that Unity and Rachel would make a great couple because of they experience enemy fire close to each other. When he is in port, he would run rounds to maintain his fitness. He is friendly as well, and is willing to lend support to any Unicorn in need of help.
