The Royal Navy proudly presented its newest vessel, the HMS Diversity, touted as the “Navy’s Secret Weapon for Inclusion.” This ship, painted in a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours and adorned with more sensitivity training pamphlets than torpedoes, aims to conquer the high seas while championing diversity.
Admiral PC McSensitivity, clad in a uniform made entirely of recycled soy-based fibers, introduced the vessel at a press conference. “Gone are the days of traditional warships,” he proclaimed. “The HMS Diversity is here to ensure that no one feels left out, whether you’re a sailor, pirate, or an enemy combatant.”
The ship’s flag, instead of a menacing skull or a national emblem, proudly displays a rainbow with a peace sign, a nod to its commitment to creating a safe space for naval encounters. The onboard cafeteria has been transformed into a vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO paradise, ensuring that even the most dietarily sensitive sailors can navigate the seas without fear of culinary microaggressions.
A diversity officer, Lieutenant Harmony Unity, will be stationed on the HMS Diversity to mediate any potential conflicts and ensure that every sailor’s feelings are considered before engaging in naval warfare. The ship’s horn, instead of blaring traditional naval signals, will play a soothing melody of inclusive affirmations.
Critics argue that the real secret weapon for naval success is, traditionally, a robust and technologically advanced vessel, not an overzealous commitment to political correctness. “I miss the good old days when our ships were feared, not fretted over,” grumbled one retired admiral, who fondly recalled the days of cannonballs and cutlasses.
Nonetheless, the Royal Navy remains steadfast in its commitment to inclusivity, promising that the HMS Diversity will forge new frontiers in naval history, one trigger warning at a time. After all, why fight enemies when you can negotiate their feelings into submission?
