Ability: Two hits from the same shoot action are required to eliminate one of this ship’s hull pieces.

The Nautilus is Nemo's flagship, and since Nemo is the centerpiece of the Mysterious Islands universe, you'd expect his ship to be something special. Is she? I guess that depends.

Her speed is low, but typical for a sub. Her cargo is average, but large for a sub. Her cannons are strictly average, but a sub won't normally use her cannons that often. Her special ability is an excellent defensive trait that will come in handy whether she goes in on the surface, or stays underwater and gets poked by an enemy that can fire on submerged ships. So, as ships go, she's average; as subs go, she's pretty good.

Nautilus plus Nemo is a hefty 24-point combination. Nemo's ability to add infinite crew to his ship, if allowed to go unchecked, will overcome all the Nautilus' shortcomings and make her the ultimate killer of the seas. Naturally, Nemo's enemies will spare no effort to keep this from happening, so the sub's defensive ability will be even more important.

16 points is a tad steep for a 3-"mast" ship. But it's not so bad for a submarine that takes seven hits to sink. This ship could make a real nuisance of itself.
