* ''Literature/HiveMind2016'': In ''Hurricane'', the Hive sends Amber's unit to the Sea Farm in seven transport aircraft, escorted by four squadrons of twelve fighter aircraft. This is done with two purposes: to show the Sea Farm how seriously the main Hive takes the situation, and to terrify the culprit.

** In ''Adversary'', Joint Hive Treaty Enforcement sends 40 Valkyrie planes to escort Amber, Ryne, and Aura to the meeting point. This is to emphasize JHTE's accepting the responsibility to keep Amber safe, and make it crystal clear to Hive Genex (or anyone else who might want to interfere) that JHTE is in control of the situation.

* True to their name, a grand old tradition of the [[UsefulNotes/BritsWithBattleships Royal Navy]]. At the Fleet Review, the reigning monarch essentially inspects a parade of all the vessels of a particular fleet of the Royal Navy. Usually takes place in the Solent at Spithead. The purpose is obvious: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Grand_Fleet_Assembly_(front).jpg would you dare fight a fleet like this?]] Fleet Reviews are traditionally held after the coronation of a new monarch, and for landmark anniversaries of the coronation. However the last proper Royal Navy Fleet Review (as opposed to the International Fleet Review of 2005) was for [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethII]]'s Silver Jubilee (25th year as queen) in 1977. No Fleet Reviews were conducted for her Golden Jubilee in 2002 or Diamond Jubilee in 2012, officially as a cost-cutting measure but widely speculated to be because in its current state a Fleet Review of the Royal Navy would just highlight how embarrassingly small it's become (in 2012 it had only 25 major surface combatants in commission). This is in stark contrast to UsefulNotes/QueenVictoria's 1897 Diamond Jubilee (the only other monarch in British history to reign for 60 years or more), where the Royal Navy displayed 50 battleships and 120 smaller warships for her Fleet Review, making up considerably less than half of the total fleet.
