SHIP: newbie alert, also Re: Unsappiness, slash?

No: HPFGUIDX 11491

If I may be so frank, I suggest a destroyer instead - long, sleak 
ships - high speed (HMS Cassandra, HMS Escapade and HMS Daring all 
made 36 kts, HMS Clare made 35 kts), and high capability of upsetting 
the major shippinglanes.  And there is something slashing about the 
way their bows cut through waves...  It could operate in cooperation 
with the flotilla-leader HMS Black Lupin.  We might also recommision 
the old light cruiser HMS Dragon...  then we can do target-practise 
on HMS Pansy and HMS Petunia (yes, they really had ships in Royal 
Navy with those names - with the exception of Black Lupin, but there 
was a USS Black).  

Actually, I think HMS Dragon is best suited for your purposes - it 
fits both Draco and a gentleman who has faced a Hungarian horntail.  
We'll need 452 crewmembers, nominally.

I nominate Cassandra for CO of the HMS Dragon, but I am not certain 
about who to have for Captain (D) - Rhysenn has a strong candidature, 
but so do others.

I might add - I have hitherto seen two fics with Neville/Draco.
