The Vykings will be in the fleet for the foreseeable future. They're primarily allocated to Riverside's scholars services, though obviously there's a few others based at Deptford and Chester-le-Street for the time being, also seeing allocation to scholars.
Ahhh yes that was reason!
The Vykings can leave Deptford and not come back...
