Manta

The Manta is a mortar ship armed with a heavy mortar on its bow, the only non-ironclad capable of carrying this size of mortar. It trades this mortar for decreased broadside cannon armament, cargo capacity, and hitpoints. The Manta is best used as a support ship, firing at the enemy from a distance. It should be noted that aiming the mortar on a Manta is difficult, as the rocking of the ship alters the trajectory.
