The corvette June, and anachronistic design
I tried my hand at doing an 1860's corvette as an anachronistic design. I chose the Juno, as it had fewer guns. I had to extend my system to handle the 64pdr MLR. The anachronistic Juno can make 18 knots and has a twin 5.5in turret forward and 4-4in guns on the sides, in mounts with shields. The range is 4,700nm at 12 knots. This is the Springsharp report:
