Everyone has been there. It's the a national holiday in your nation, other countries' ships are coming to call on your ports for fleet week, or you are sending your navy to participate in a ceremony and all you have to send is a sterile, utilitarian vessel, dull gray with modern weapons protruding, exhaust from the diesel boilers fouling the air, while all of the old nations have their special 17th and 18th century ships of the line, galleons and other historical ships from their colorful past to show off.

A classic sailing ship bringing back memories of old, while still completely functional, the perfect vessel to show off to the world (or use to destroy other nations' historical ships muahaha) This ship is constructed from 40% oak, 30% mahogany, 10% other natural materials and 20% man-made materials.
It has sails but they are really for show, though one could possibly use them for propulsion if necessary. There are 2 electric propellers under the hull which can be powered/recharged by either 6 men on stationary bicycles, wind mill(mounted in crow's nest) , photovoltaic cells or a combination of all 3.
Armament:
[21] x 24 pounder bronze cannon
[1] x 42 pounder cast iron cannon(swivel bow mount)
[4] x 120mm mortar
[2] x .45 caliber gatling gun
[14-35] x congreve rocket (various sizes and warheads available)
[1] W54 nuclear rocket projectile for 42 pound cannon :D
[Made in Mexico.]
Price: $750,000
