Ability: Galley. Once per turn, one of this ship’s cannons can shoot again if it misses.

The Lepanto is a fine-looking Spanish galley, named for a famous sea battle involving galleys. Most of her stats are pretty average. She'll make a so-so gold ship or boarding ship, or a decent fighter with her built-in Cannoneer.

The problem is her price tag. Why would I want to pay 14 points for a three-masted galley when the same points could get me La Tartessos, a superb five-master, or La Sirviente, a speedy three-masted schooner with excellent cannons and an S-board? The Lepanto isn't a bad ship, but she's badly overpriced.
