Manta
The Manta can carry a Heavy 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 hit-points, however, leave some to be desired. The Manta is best used as a support ship with its Heavy 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.

Shipwright says... The Manta's reinforced bow allows her to carry a heavy mortar.
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.
