The '''Poseidon''' is an ironclad ship offering high health alongside fast-turning, powerful guns. The turrets offer great protection from fire for the crew, however the limited viewing window can make spotting targets challenging. Despite having the rare boon of a 7 speed engine, the overall speed of the ship remains quite slow, paired with a somewhat slow turning speed. The Poseidon is able to independently function better than a [[Neptune]] due to the lack of a rear blind spot as well as needing less crew to man, allowing multiple to be used for the same crew cost. The Poseidon provides a far healthier yet slower alternative of a 3 crew ship to the [[Stiletto (Ship)|Stiletto]], which also functions as an effective independent or support ship, and the increased speed and wind tilt over a [[Binglehopper]] allows it to more effectively provide support to fleets.

These turrets are unobtainable by normal players and are typically only seen in Purshovian war events.

Summary

The Poseidon offers high health in tandem with a small crew and fast-turning, powerful guns. The turrets offer sufficient protection from fire for the crew, but make it difficult to acquire targets.

Trivia

The Poseidon's speed bonus towards Size 9 Turrets (42T Long Guns) does not apply to the Neptune, and mounting a Size 9 Turret on a Neptune will cause it to rotate at the same speed as the specialized Size 10 Turrets mountable by the Neptune.
