Easy to score a powerful direct hit on the side of that ship. I would not want to be rammed by that ship, however.

One of the problems with tumblehome is that the
farther it lists the less water it displaces so
it doesn’t naturally right itself.
I can see the bow as almost a clipper wave piercing
design though. Not sure I’d want to ride it out
in any heavy weather.
Smaller crews mean less hands in fire control parties
but I suppose it’s all automated...?
