You should review your information on Nemi I !<br>
How would you call an elongated ship with a ram?<br>
I agree that the most exagerated Hellenistic super-galleys were more than doubtful as effective warships but, nevertheless, their contemporaries deemed them as astonishing warships!<br>
Nemi I's breadth is too wide but increasing ships breadth is the only way Greek naval archtects could house so many rowers per rib.<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
