      Spins so fast it generates the energy needed to power the entire ship.

      that’s why it has a dozen anchors on each side of the hull. proper preparation prevents piss poor projectiling.

      That’s why navies stopped using broadsides and went to turrets about 150 years ago. Well, it’s one of the reasons anyway. Turrets also worked a lot better once you shifted to steam power and didn’t have to worry so much about rigging. Additionally, you could mount a much bigger gun on a turret than you could using broadsides on the sides of a wooden sailing ship.
