The '''Manta''' is a mortar ship armed with a heavy mortar on its bow, the only non-ironclad (excluding voucher ships) capable of carrying this size of mortar. In exchange for this, it has decreased broadside cannon armament, cargo capacity, and hull strength compared to contemporaries. The Manta is best used as a support ship, firing at the enemy from a distance with its mortar and long ranged broadside. It should be noted that aiming the mortar on a Manta is difficult, as the rocking of the ship alters the trajectory.

The Manta can carry a Size 8 Mortar on her bow, allowing for a heavy amount of damage to be dealt from relative safety at extreme range. Her broadside cannon armament, cargo capacity, and hitpoints, however, leave some to be desired. The Manta is best used as a support ship with its 48 pound mortar meanwhile, a ship with a better armament and hull strength like a [[Tyrant]] should be fighting the enemy ship head on. This ship can be used to flush enemy ships or players from positions like Wind Rock or on an island. If a Manta is in a fleet, it should never be cut off and unsupported for it will quickly sink.

The Manta can carry a Size 8 Mortar on her bow, allowing for a heavy amount of damage to be dealt from relative safety at extreme range. Her broadside cannon armament, cargo capacity, and hitpoints, however, leave some to be desired. The Manta is best used as a support ship with its 48 pound mortar meanwhile, a ship with a better armament and hull strength like a Tyrant should be fighting the enemy ship head on. This ship can be used to flush enemy ships or players from positions like Wind Rock or on an island. If a Manta is in a fleet, it should never be cut off and unsupported for it will quickly sink.

Trivia

The Manta is the "Older Sister" of the Kestrel, mounting more cannons of a larger caliber, and providing room for a larger mortar on the bow.

The Manta uses the hull from the Shark
