The Santisima Trinidad ….

When she was launched in 1769, the Santisima Trinidad was the greatest warship the age of sail had seen. She was built as a one-off design in Havana, Cuba, by Matthew Mullan, an Irish naval architect in the service of Spain. Her displacement of 4,950 tons made her comfortably the largest warship in the world. For comparison, Nelson’s flagship the Victory, which was launched a few years earlier, was only 3,500 tons. Originally built as a three decked, first rate, she was redesigned in 1795. By joining up her forecastle to her quarterdeck, she was given a complete battery of small 8pdr cannon on her upper deck, taking the number of cannons she carried to 130, and making her the only four decked warship in the world.View attachment 358565
I read the wiki article. The RN turned this beast into a target hulk. Good show!
 
In 1963, the United States entered a joint agreement with the United Kingdom to develop the Ranges of Andros Island in the Bahamas on the condition that the Royal Navy would have access....
"The topography just off the east coast of Andros plummets to about 1,000 fathoms—roughly 6,000 feet"

like a foot is roughly 12 inches :D

then there are the magnetic signatures to contend with..
 
A drone ship, you say?
