Which Assassin's Creed game features the pirate ship Jackdaw as its main vessel?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag features the pirate ship Jackdaw as its main vessel. Edward Kenway captures and refits the ship, using it to travel across the Caribbean and support his activities as a pirate and Assassin.

The Jackdaw can be upgraded with stronger hull armor, heavier cannons, improved storage, and other equipment. Naval battles, boarding actions, treasure hunting, and underwater exploration make the ship central to the game's structure.

Other Assassin's Creed games also feature important ships. Assassin's Creed III includes Connor's naval vessel Aquila, while Assassin's Creed Rogue centers on Shay Cormac's ship Morrigan. These names are distinct from the Jackdaw.

The Jackdaw helped make Black Flag especially notable for turning sailing from a major side activity into a defining part of the experience.
