The Naval Campaign

The Naval Campaign was a set of missions overseen by the Assassin-come-Templar Shay Cormac during the Seven Years' War on behalf of the British Empire. Using ships captured from the Assassins and other enemies of the British Empire to build his fleet, Shay sent crews to support and protect British interests around the world. At its height, the fleet consisted of 15 ships of different types, not including the Morrigan.
