Connor Kenway captains the Aquila in Assassin's Creed III.
The Aquila is a fictional brig commanded by Connor during naval missions in the North Atlantic and along the American coastline. Players use it to fight enemy vessels, complete naval objectives, and explore waterways connected to the game's Revolutionary War setting.
The ship's name comes from the Latin word for “eagle,” and the Aquila becomes an important part of Connor's activities outside the frontier and cities. Naval missions also provide a different style of play from the game's parkour, stealth, and land combat.
The Aquila is often confused with ships from other entries. Edward Kenway commands the Jackdaw in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, while Shay Cormac commands the Morrigan in Assassin's Creed Rogue. Those ships belong to different protagonists and historical stories.
