The Porkchop Express

This article describes a naval vessel, and is therefore referred to with female pronouns.

The Porkchop Express is a large ship used by the Pigs to travel across the sea en masse in The Angry Birds Movie.

Description
The Porkchop Express is a large vessel and capital ship of the Pigs, constructed out of wood, stone and metal. She is primarily powered by a motorized water-wheel engine, with a single sail. She boasts an elegant, high bow, while having a low stern and a crooked mast with multiple platforms to stand on.

She is very spacious, with multiple decks and can hold thousands of pigs, as well as various cargo, including TNT, trampolines and ground vehicles. She is also equipped with a radio system aptly called "ham radio", enabling communication between portions of the ship, or with nearby communication equipment.

The Express also uses a large boulder to anchor herself upon reaching a desired destination. Once she is anchored, pigs can luxuriously disembark her via a conveyor belt gangway, controlled via a wired remote. The belt, however, is sometimes notoriously known to malfunction. She also has a block (pulley) that can be used to haul up cargo aboard her.

History
The Express was first seen traveling to Bird Island, where she anchored right in front of Red's house, damaging it. This was also the moment when he began to question the Pigs' true intentions, as the Pigs first disembark to introduce themselves to the Birds as friendly visitors.

Nights later, during the welcome celebrations, Leonard offers Red the opportunity to use the Slingshot, and he happened to aim him right onto the beach where the Express was moored. Realizing that the ship appeared unguarded, Red decided to investigate her, inviting Chuck and Bomb to come along with him. The three made interesting discoveries aboard her, including, among other things, a copy of the book Fifty Shades of Green, a room full of trampolines, and ground vehicles. After searching her, Red is more affirmative that the pigs are up to something and eventually resolves to seek Mighty Eagle to confront them.

After a long journey to his cave, Red and his friends discover that Mighty Eagle is too lazy to help the Birds and return to the village. By the time they come back, they find their village under attack as the Pigs were stealing all the Birds' eggs. Red and his friends race to try and thwart the raid, but they are too late as the Pigs fend them off and race back aboard the Express, sailing away to make a meal out of the Eggs they captured.
