This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the
GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial
redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on
a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until
I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these
days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml

Ironclad Galleon v1.0 (TL4)
Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer
She could be one of a kind, built to hunt down a notorious pirate, or
part of an armorclad armada, built to sweep the seven seas. The galleon
has been razeed down to a single gun deck and armored with 210 tons of
iron plate.
The Ironclad Galleon mounts five culverins and four demi-culverins in
each broadside, and two larger cannon as stern chasers. Ten swivel guns
can be mounted on deck. The reduced sterncastle and forecastle improve
her sailing qualities, but the quarters are very spartan -- except for
the captain, the first lieutenant, and the sailing master. In tropical
waters most of the crew sleeps on deck.
The usual load of food and ammunition is $297,272.

full-rotation Open Mounts -1.
Powertrain: 28,500-sf standard full rig with cloth sails.
