Are you secretly a Roman?

That's actually a really good guess, but I'm trying to get all my ships to reference Ghibli films.
This reference is so obscure. It's mentioned once in a Ghibli film.
Hint: "Seaplane No.2 'the Wolf of Tibere'!"
DrTentacles:
The Wind Rises.

Galleon: The Goliath

Those are both from Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
Porco Rosso is another movie in itself.

Mobula: FFS Void Mother

Just a little update (yes, you totaly give a fuck, I'm sure of that)
Mobula: Echo Of Nihil
I think it fits it - it's a mobula, so it's sophisticated, yet weird, gentle, yet brutal.
My mercury shots striping the hull are like Echoes the grim future, past which there is only oblivion.
Artemises and banshees are like haunted screams of Zofia Fraś.
Games with it longs like Obscure Sphinx's songs (their songs are 7 to 16 minutes long), unless enemies are stupid and you execute the tactics well (playing Red Sepulcher with this while being in red team, and if allies sees that spawn point as a great natural defense/ambush site ends almost always with slaughter - even if one of your enemies is a ship full of Lols, like Blacky Sabbath or Horus).
And fucking hell, I like flying it. Every other ship seems to me so immature, while mobula, my loadout especially, requires a feeling, and what's more important - patience. A patien hunter gets the prey.
Sorry, I'm a bit weird minded today. Finals are coming and my mind... well, endures it not really well.
BlackenedPies:
Prepare for duck names
Pyramidion- ram boat. Changed to the Entenrammboot when joined the ducks (German for duck ram boat). Also Rammschreckentenboot at one point
Squid- mosquito, now Made with Duck Tape. Mine carro mine for crazy kings.
Goldfish- draken, now Aves Anas (nomenclature for duck)
Junker- Hammy B. L. T. Until I think of a real name
Spire- Quackikazi due to my love of charging. Quack Pipe is taken
Galleon- Release the Quaken
Modula- it's been the Pond Ryder since borrowing tactics from watching the Ryders.
