The Equestrian Navy had always protected those who ventured onto the deep, but when it came to fighting, they were woefully unprepared. With the loss of so many of the EN ships, and the new found enemy of the Changelings, Princess Celestia initiated the Royal Armed Forces Act, part of which called for a massive build-up of the navy from one of wood and canvas to that of a steel and steam. This is the story of the Schornhorse, the First True Battleship of the Royal Equestrian Navy.
