The '''S.S.

It also stores all the gathered objects found by the leaders, and transport the leaders from place to place. [[Charlie]] is its captain and Alph is its engineer. | ||

'''Assemble All''' is a mechanic introduced in {{p3d}}. Approaching the S.S. Drake and pressing {{button|switch|a}} will sound a large [[whistle]] and call all stray [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] back to the landing site. Any Pikmin that were performing a task will drop it, and all Pikmin run back at the same speed, which is slightly faster than that of a leader. This feature becomes available when the first sunset of Story Mode happens. | '''Assemble All''' is a mechanic introduced in {{p3d}}. Approaching the S.S.

If Assemble All is used while a newly discovered [[Onion]] is still separate from the Master Onion, the Pikmin type belonging to that Onion will assemble there instead of the main landing site. | If Assemble All is used while a newly discovered [[Onion]] is still separate from the Master Onion, the Pikmin type belonging to that Onion will assemble there instead of the main landing site. | ||

"Drake" is a word for a male duck, similar to how other ships in the series are named after various animals, with the [[SPERO]]s from the same game being named after sparrows, another type of bird. Additionally, the trophy for the S.S. Drake in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' hints that the name "Drake" could also be a reference to the famous navigator {{w|Sir Francis Drake}}.{{cite quote|{{Notes:S.S. Drake/ssb4wiiuus}}|Trophy description|''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''}} | |||
At one point [[Pikmin 3 prerelease information|during production]], there were four main [[leader]]s, and their names had not yet been decided. They were given the placeholder names "A", "B", "C" and "D". Because the other leaders were given names that start with the same letter as the placeholder names, it is possible that "Drake" was the name that would be picked for the final leader. | |||
Although the navy prefix "S.S" normally means "{{w|Steamship|screw-steamer}}", a steam-powered ship with a propeller, it can be assumed that this fictional navy prefix means something like "star ship" or "space ship." | Although the navy prefix "S.S" normally means "{{w|Steamship|screw-steamer}}", a steam-powered ship with a propeller, it can be assumed that this fictional navy prefix means something like "star ship" or "space ship." | ||
