Last time I visited the masts weren't even on her so maybe......stick a couple of engines in the bottom?
I read somewhere that the weight of shot from a single broadside from Victory was greater than that if all the artillery used by the British Army at the Battle of Waterloo fired at once. Not sure if its true but if so it rather demonstrates the power of a single man o war. I would not like to be on the receiving end.
