Nearly an historic design.

I note the range: 9000nm
& the high survivability: 11548kg

Just out of curiosity what is the Main Battery layout of Pearl?

Just out of curiosity what is the Main Battery layout of Pearl?

Its supposed to be similar to the historical Pearl-class: two single deck mounts on the foredeck, one on each side; two more on the quarterdeck, one on each side; and 4 at the waist, sides distributed.  But springsharp will not let you place guns on the quarterdeck or foredeck.
