Floating Fortress

From Warbirth Wiki

The Floating Fortress - a logical progression from the Tower Barque, but not necessarily militarily logical. Is essentially the equivalent of 3 Tower Barques, lashed together but with a very big speed penalty. Its main task is to protect against ships - so it is a very powerful anti-ship weapon for China. But it is a very costly endeavour and not foolproof - even simple Fire Raft attacks will bring it down fairly quickly.
