Creidne

Not to be confused with Creidhne, the goldsmith of the Tuatha Dé Danann

Creidne was a woman warrior of the Fianna in Irish mythology. She became the champion of a warrior band after fleeing from an incestuous relationship with her father, which produced three sons.[1]

The Creidne is also a sail training yacht owned by the Irish Naval Service which is being used as a temporary replacement for the Asgard II.
