Santissima Trinidad

Black Seas: Santissima Trinidad

The Santísima Trinidad (officially named Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad) was a Spanish first-rate ship of the line. This number of weapons increased over the years. At her launch in 1769 she carried 112 guns, though this number gradually increased. She was upgraded to 130 guns between 1795 and 1796, and in 1802 this was increased to 140. After this last rebuild she was the most heavily armed ship in the world, carrying more cannon than any other ship in the Age of Sail. Effectively, however, the fourth gundeck was comparatively very small.

In Black Seas:

The sheer bulk of the Santísima Trinidad is addressed with her special rules in Black Seas - she is only ever able to make a single change of direction during her activation. She also requires a successful skill test to be able to travel at full sail.

The trade-off for this lack of agility is an arsenal that dwarfs every other ship in the game. Any ship unlucky enough to be caught in her broadside is sure to be shredded. You will want to take advantage of this as much as possible, unleashing your initial broadside (which conveys additional bonuses) at the optimal moment.
