Fury is a triple-decked war galley of three hundred oars in the royal fleet of Blackwater Bay. It is owned by Stannis Baratheon[1] and is the flagship of his fleet.
Layout
Above her oars is a deck covered completely with scorpions. Topside Fury has catapults mounted fore and aft. She is formidable and swift. Her sails are golden with the crowned stag of House Baratheon painted on them.[2]
History
Stannis commanded the assault on Dragonstone from the decks of Fury after Robert's Rebellion.[2] Presumably Stannis also made Fury his flagship for the sea battle off Fair Isle during Greyjoy's Rebellion, where the ship sank Aeron Greyjoy's Golden Storm.[3]
