The Portman II (ポートマンII, Pōtoman II) is an amphibious Knightmare Frame fielded by Britannia in 2018 a.t.b. It largely replaced the original Portman as the primary naval Knightmare, but is also capable of land and air combat. Portman IIs are first seen being deployed en masse by Suzaku Kururugi in an attempt to capture the Black Knights, but this failed as a plan set in motion by Zero destroyed most, if not all, of the Portman IIs deployed as well as Britannia's surface fleet. Some Portman II were later seen failing to shoot down the Shinkiro after Zero's identity and Geass were revealed. During the Battle of Mt. Fuji, a single Portman II was part of Lelouch's squad when he infiltrated Damocles, but it was destroyed by the Blaze Luminous shielding of the fortress as it was the last in the group to try to make it through the temporary hole Lelouch had created using his Absolute Defense System.
