The People's Ship "Vigilant", the ship that would once more place the Republic of Deltora among the naval powers of the world. The Destroyer, heralded as the most deadly ever built of it's kind with some of the most advanced armaments of our age surpassing even those of Zellonia, found itself the center of attention for many a journalist and military officer alike. With the ships construction being a testimony to Deltoran engineering and industry, inquiries are also being made into modernizing the nine other active Destroyers of the Grand Fleet to that of the TPS Vigilant. 
  
Regardless, the TPS Vigilant serves as a reminder to the world that Deltora is and will remain a player upon it's stage as the peacekeeper and the liberal, a remainder to all that ones civility, liberty and independence will be he upheld. Within or outside of it's borders.
