Designing the Linde-Class Ship of the Line

For the last three days, and nights Berengar had been locked away in his study. So much so that the only thing he had to consume was tea. Considering he could not easily get his hands on coffee, he was left with tea to stimulate his mind and keep him from falling asleep.

Yet, now after all his hard work, it had finally paid off. Sitting before him on his desk was a comprehensive schematic for a large first-rate ship of the line. It was a massive beast, that had a total of three decks, and could house a total of 130 cannons on it. Each cannon would be a new class of naval artillery, and that would be the 32 lb Cannon. 

The ship itself was basically a carbon copy of the USS Pennsylvania with some small changes to it. Due to a lack of the material known as cotton that could not grow within Berengar's territory, the man had resorted to using Linen for his sails.
