Default Longship is long

Found this monstrosity at Brisbane today...

Alright, whose bright idea was this?





Look at it though! Bloody seamless!



Even the guns fit neatly around that mast instead of sticking trough it




Even glitches can be impressive when they fit together so well

That's Churchill's ship he takes when going places.

I don't know, you'd think Winston's frame would call for width rather than length of ship carrying him. For stability and whatnot

It looks good. Extra machinery means quick acceleration, coupled with a fantastic fineness ratio means good top speed. Lots of armament. Lacking maneuverability, though, and will likely suffer from longitudinal stress.

Reminds me of a few of the hybrid monstrosities of the WWI era like the HMS Agincourt. I wonder if that was just a bug or if a mod maker snuck that in for fun? or even the devels?
