Neptune
The Neptune is an extremely bulky ironclad possessing a broadside of 3 medium guns on each side, unique among ironclads. Unlike the Poseidon or Binglehopper, the Neptune lacks any form of stern protection, making it vulnerable to sternlocks. The front turret of the Neptune can be any one of the Neptune-class turrets listed in the section below.

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.
- A common myth is that the Neptune, like the Poseidon, is a Purshovian ship. In truth, it is of Burkelandic origin.
