With its broadside (5x 42 pounder long gun broadside), the Astraeus can shred most ships that come its way, the only thing that hinders the ship is the turning rate of the vessel. The slowness allows the ship to be easily stern and bow-locked, although stern-locking isn't much of a viable option thanks to the stern guns (2x 18 pounder long guns). | With its broadside (5x 42 pounder long gun broadside), the Astraeus can shred most ships that come its way, the only thing that hinders the ship is the turning rate of the vessel.
