ESS Cormac Cowpeland, formerly known as the GHS Kirchner, is the flagship of the Elbresian Navy. Built in Gladysynthia in 2003 and originally named after Premiere Malcolm Kirchner, Gladysynthia sold the ship to Elbresia in 2004 after construction costs ran high and the ship was only partially completed. The transfer from Gladysynthia to Elbresia was complicated by diplomatic factors, such as WEDA and some ANS sanctions on the Gladysynthian government, and during its tow across the Olympic Ocean a cable snapped and the ship's hull was loose for a period of time. Eventually the ship arrived at port in Turnleer, where construction completed on the ship in 2006, and it was launched the following year. The ship has its home port in Oftbon.
