India Voyager II is a ship, helmed by Captain Savarna. Presumably, it is named after the India Voyager I, the ship on which she spent her idyllic childhood before her family was massacred by pirates.
The India Voyager II is unusual in many ways. It is fully automated, so that no crew is needed, apart from Savarna herself. However, it has very comfortable accommodation for human passengers. The Phantom contacted Savarna when he needed to relocate the Croccos to a safe location. Savarna is an excellent cook and entertained the Walkers and Old man Mozz with fine cuisine, while the Croccos travelled down in the bilges. Crocco Island West
The India Voyager II is secretly heavily armed, with an OTO Melaro 76mm deck gun in a retractable mount and an underwater torpedo tube for Savarna to use in her vendetta against any pirates who are tempted to attack her. These weapons are so well-concealed that the Phantom was unaware of them when he travelled on the ship the first time. Savarna is also well-supplied with small-arms, and usually carries a hand-gun on her person.
Inside the ship is Savarna's exquisitely-furnished boudoir, where she changes from her uniform into more feminine attire.
