Summary
The Minnowclad is a Voucher Ship that is only obtainable by purchasing the ship with a Minnowclad Voucher at the Premium Merchant. It is a combat variant of the Minnow and a useful ship for raiding, because of it's size, relatively quick speed, maneuverability, and two bow facing swivel guns which are hard to counter with regular cannons. It also comes with a boombox radio for playing tunes while on the seas, that only you and members of your crew can hear.
Uses and Armament
The Minnowclad is a special ship in that it is one of the only ships in the game to come equipped with cannons when purchased or crafted. When it is first spawned, the lower swivel gun will be an Advanced Swivel Gun while the gun in the crow's nest will be a Spotlight Swivel Gun, both of which are unobtainable through crafting. The Minnowclad is also unique because of it's cannon armament. It contains two cannon slots, one on the very bow of the ship, and one in an overhead crow's nest position. The crows nest position is especially useful because it allows the wielder more range with his swivel, more turning and visibility for shooting, height for shooting on to the decks of most ships, and more protection from cannons, flintlocks or melee attacks. The crow's nest position however, is very hard to get to without practice, even with the stepping platforms on either side of the mast. Thus, in many quick situations, gunners won't have enough time to get up to the crow's nest position, and will instead take the bow swivel gun.
Trivia
The Minnowclad when purchased, can be made out of many different types of materials, such as the normal iron, but also gold, silver, copper, pursteel, or steel. Some variants are rarer than others, with gold being the rarest.
The Minnowclad has 2 sister variants that cost 3 Minnowclad Vouchers instead of 1, the RIOT Clad and the Steamclad Minnowfish, the latter only being available while Minnowclad Vouchers are on-sale.
The Minnowclad is one of 6 ships to feature a radio, along with the Super Steamfish, Partyfish, Steamclad Minnowfish, RIOT clad, and Advanced Raider
