The chief designer of the "Decisive", Sane, saw the Crown Prince's serious expression and immediately stepped forward to explain: "Your Highness, the original design indeed installed 18 32-pound cannons, and there were no problems during Mediterranean testing. However, during testing in the more volatile Atlantic Ocean, it was found that excessive heavy artillery firing caused the ship to lose stability."
He glanced cautiously at Joseph: "You know, after all, the width of the 'Decisive' is only 12.7 meters..."
Joseph understood that the cannons of this era were all fired from one side of the ship, which meant that if the ship's width was insufficient, the recoil from the heavy artillery firing would cause the ship to sway sideways.
Even without considering navigational safety, the severe rocking would make it impossible to guarantee the accuracy of the cannon firing.
