With all the hundreds of noble ship names that
fill the Royal Navy's history, why does WizKids have
so much trouble naming English ships?
This so-called "Sea King" is about as far from naval
royalty as you can get.
You'd expect a ship with a name like this to have
some real power. Two masts with 3-rank cannons does
not equal power in my book. Two cargo and an L move
don't spell gold running, either. Add a Captain and
Helmsman, and she's a reasonable back-up fighter.
But if you don't mean to use her ability, you could
use HMS Cumberland instead, and get 2-rank cannons
(and double the cargo) for one point less.
The only good thing about this ship is her low
price, which is fair for what you get. Aside from
that, if this is the King, you better hope nobody
plays the ace.
