The armament would have likely been of great size, with the ship's sides brimming with firepower, as well as probably being clad in obsidian too keep the ship relatively safe from the then, OP high explosive TNT cannon balls and possible ignition from incendiary cannon shots, to stop such a costly Super Weapon / Ship from becoming a diving wreck. | The armament would have likely been of great size, with the ship's sides brimming with firepower, as well as probably being clad in obsidian too keep the ship relatively safe from the then, OP high explosive TNT cannon balls and possible ignition from incendiary cannon shots, to stop such a costly Super Weapon / Ship from becoming a diving wreck. | ||
However, the British PM at the time [[Bislo1]], scrapped CrazyPirate's idea of an ocean dominating super ship, for smaller craft that could serve the same purpose as this monstrous ship could cost, especially when phased with the thought that a lightly armed ship could punch through such obsidian armor easily with a despite costly, diamond shot, which if then followed with a couple of explosive shots, could lead to the destruction of a much more costly construction. This and also the hard and complex possibility of such a ship of engineering expertise could be realized was also a contributing factor to the non-existence of the ship and possibly why none of these ships | However, the British PM at the time [[Bislo1]], scrapped CrazyPirate's idea of an ocean dominating super ship, for smaller craft that could serve the same purpose as this monstrous ship could cost, especially when phased with the thought that a lightly armed ship could punch through such obsidian armor easily with a despite costly, diamond shot, which if then followed with a couple of explosive shots, could lead to the destruction of a much more costly construction.

Further designs for similar ships were put forth by numerous crews since, based on the research conducted by British officials at the time. However none are known to exist in a finished state. | |||
