Using the names of RSN's frigates for calligraphy practice

The Republic of Singapore Navy has six stealth frigates: RSS Formidable, RSS Intrepid, RSS Steadfast, RSS Tenacious, RSS Stalwart, and RSS Supreme. They also have corresponding names in Chinese, used for reporting by the local Chinese newspapers. They are, in order, 威武号, 刚毅号, 坚信号, 强力号,忠诚号, and 精湛号. Given my ties to these names, I decided to use them for calligraphy practice.
 
威武 (Formidable)


刚毅 (Intrepid)


坚信 (Steadfast)


强力 (Tenacious)


忠诚 (Stalwart)


精湛 (Supreme)


And a final piece combining all six names.


I actually quite like this piece. 😄

Note: The Chinese names are not literal translations of the English names.
