The steam-powered walker had come to a halt before the jetty, where Vanna stood atop its spider-like chassis, gazing up at the legendary warship before her, celebrated as the "unsinkable battleship."
Unsinkable, not invincible—the ship might indeed have been difficult to sink, but that did not mean it was unscathed.

This was after Sea Mist had already deployed its powerful "unsinkable" ability to self-repair for a full day and night.
