That job seems like either something you do out of a family firm that used to make galleons in the 1600s or you have to be the skeeziest guy to ever earn a commission.

Last night's training voyage: 1st voyage was a bore cuz no targets. Reloaded into a new session...nothing but brigs and galleons. Got sunk in a two galleon crossfire, came back and annoyed the survivor. Sniper aim improved.

The Ottomans relied exclusively on rowing ships (above all, galleys) while the Holy League fielded large sailing vessels and heavy galleons. The galleys' success in the battle cemented the Ottoman navy's long-standing preference for this type of ship. 2/

The Ottoman fleet consisted of 122 rowing vessels (galleys and galleons), while the Holy League fleet comprised more than 600 vessels (galleys, galleons, sailing ships). There is some variation in the sources, particularly regarding the League's ship numbers. 2/

No diving is a miserable experience. Sloop fighting galleons and brigs constantly, they run away so they don't sink and they just control the server so we can't accomplish anything.

Okay, another approach. 😉
While not amphibious she still has the design language of her builders.
Like Klingon, Romulan and Andorian starships look different to each others. Or in an analogy, Chinese and Japanese Junks do look very different to each other and to Galleons, despite the same setting.

I’m on a lovely Greek island. Well lovely for 20 hours a day…. The other 4 , at the moment, are invaded by ‘ pseudo pirate galleons’ from Kos, containing similar people to this…. Terrifying……I heard one bellyflopping off a boat today…..possibly causing a tsunami somewhere…..miaow.

The main reason spanish galleons had stupid amounts of gun decks and stupid amounts of cannons, is they operated expecting up to half of the crew to be incapacitated at any given time due to vitamin deficiencies and sometimes not even letting them off their designated deck for sun exposure.
