My anachronistic Warrior design
I thought that I would try the original Warrior design, as an anachronistic Springsharp design. I tried out the new gun concept, as well. I assumed a more modern stern design, so the length on the waterline is greater than the original Warrior. The Warrior was completed with the following guns: 26-68pdr, 10-110pdr Armstrong BLR, and 4-70pdr Armstrong BLR. I did not have good figures on the 70pdr gun, so I used a 4in QF gun in place of it. For the other guns, I have 4-5in BLR in place of the 110pdrs. I have 26-5.5in BLR in place of the 68pdr SB guns. In place of the 70pdr, I have what would be shorter 5in guns. This is the Springsharp report:
