Thunder Dragon Bay and Ranged Attack

I was wondering if the ranged attack from Thunder Dragon Bay could be modified.

Also, if I naval a thunder action and its effects get canceled by a card like Reinforce the Gate will I still be able to use the trait to give +1 Force to one of my personalities? Or if the action is negated by Iron Will or Smoke Screen would I still be able to get the +1F?

Yes, it can.

Also, if I naval a thunder action and its effects get canceled by a card like Reinforce the Gate will I still be able to use the trait to give +1 Force to one of my personalities? Or if the action is negated by Iron Will or Smoke Screen would I still be able to get the +1F?

Yes, in those cases, Thunder Dragon Bay's trait would still trigger. All actions have a "resolution", even if their effects are negated or "do not" happen.
