After running four successful missions, King George turned over the captain's hat and chair to Grand Duke Travis, who enthusiastically took control of the ship and crew for the final voyage. Under his command, the USS ''Don Quixote'' engaged and destroyed four enemy fleets, preventing a large-scale invasion of the sector they were tasked with defending.
