Shipbucket

I like very much the Town Class and the top view of Sund Class.

Got bored while driving home from school and this is what happened.
It's based on a Swedish peasant weapon called a Swordstaff.
As the name suggest it was adopted by the RDN in 1796 and it proved to be murderously effective both on land and aboard ships.
It's still retained as a ceremonial weapon.

Seems a bit short for a pike.

It is, if it was meant for the battlefield.
On a ship it's perfect. A full-sized pike would just get in the way.
