this looks like a winner to me

can the main gun depress enough to engage at close ranges? I dunno how well wood shows up on radar but if it's detected the corvvus is fucked lol

I mean, the AA guns and such can surely just mow massive holes into that thing long before it could make contact. Especially since it is much faster moving. If the sails are spotted they would just keep range and sink it without thought.

Explanation: A corvus is an ancient Roman naval boarding device of the kind shown, basically a bridge with a nail in it put on a warship. I think it's got some dark horse energy in this matchup, I'm betting on the corvus as the winner 🙏
