SMS Ghlaff's Siegen

The SMS Ghlaff's Siegen (originally christened SMS Siegen) is a large, first rate, Ship-Of-The-Line, designed for overall purpose, but primarily, battle. While also able to carry quite a bit of cargo (with topout at 450 tons), and at rather quick speeds (a cruise of 10 knots), it is mostly used for patrolling, engagements, and escorts. It is the Flagship of the Eastern Initiative Trading Company's Fleet Admiral, Tristan Alexander Ross, and is Captained by Captain Anako Jadebrew. It was first ordered by the Zundrbarian Navy on March 9th, 4 L.C, and was laid down at the drydocks of Boerland, Zundrbar on January 15th, 5 L.C.

Completed on April 18th, 6 L.C, and commissioned a few weeks later on May 1st, 6 L.C, the ship was christened by Fleet Admiral Tristan Alexander Ross and Ghlafferge Sootbeard as the SMS Siegen, and underwent it's shakedown cruise and sea trials from Boerland to Menethil Harbour and back soon afterward.

Service History
The SMS Ghlaff's Siegen started initial service in trading numerous agricultural goods from Boerland to Menethil Harbour, Highbank, and Marshtide Watch, as well as keeping the peace in the area served, making basic patrols along the routes. Rarely was it taken off this duty set, coming off of it 4 times in order to serve in emergencies in battle and conquests.

On June 8th, 7 L.C, Fleet Admiral Ross had taken it for a prolonged expedition of trade and diplomacy along the eastern coast of the Eastern Kingdoms. Logs state that he made a stop at Bogpaddle on July 13th, 7 L.C, being the final log statement until almost a half month later on July 29th, telling of a sabotage attempt by the Steamwheedle Cartel, where explosives were rigged near the aft of the ship, detonating around 3 days after he left port while sailing north back to Boerland, as Bogpaddle was the last resupply stop in it's travels. Due to this, Fleet Admiral Ross had to fight to navigate his way back to Boerland with a damaged ship and a reduced crew.

Once making it back on August 27th, 7 L.C, it resumed duties, and conducted another shakedown cruise, until going into temporary retirement for 2 weeks on September 30th, 7 L.C. The Siegen was renamed to the SMS Ghlaff's Siegen upon retirement. After being docked in Boerland for the duration of the retirement, it set sail again, under the EITC's flag for Stormwind Harbour, where it became one of the two flagships of the company, and switched it's Port-of-Registry to there.
