Trivia
A Cladifier can be used to change the metal material of the Neptune from Iron to the metal of the Cladifier.
Adding a Neptune Upgrade will add a tarp on the top of the Neptune that protects the vessel from mortars, which is especially beneficial on such a large, slow ship with a low roof.
This ironclad, like the Poseidon, is named after the Roman god of the sea.
