Battle honours

Ships named HMAS Ibis are entitled to carry two battle honours:[1][2]

gollark: I assume they'll just extend the dam thing into a giant Netherlands-covering dome.
gollark: * neat
gollark: Hmm, less than I thought would be submerged then, nest.
gollark: That would be good. I don't know what some of the American coast is meant to look like normally. Or Japan and Indonesia and such.
gollark: BRB, retasking orbital laser arrays.
