This sailing ironclad giant is a Leviathan, a true monster of the sea, even larger than the largest battleships ever built in real life (the Yamato-class battleships). This titan is built as a fleet in being, and is able to pound hell alone on multiple enemy ships-of-the-line, as it once did (but not without taking considerable damage). Its mere presence alone is a serious alarm to even a large fleet of enemy ships, as this ship, while powerful alone, rarely sails without other allied warships.

Alterafter Lore
When the ship was launched, news about the ship's mere existence shook the world of naval power, and many major countries began building enormous dockyards to build rivalling "Titan ships", as the ship type was called that time. Unfortunately for all of them, only a few of the giant dockyards were finished, while only a few of these laid down the ships' keels, and not a single ship was completed due to economic, technological as well as political problems. All these ship keels were scrapped, while most of the finished dockyards were destroyed to create ports. Many naval powers thought that one day a ship of such a large size would actually built in the future, and preserved the giant dockyards for this possibility. More than 100 years later, they were proven right as they used these dockyards to build 300-meter long modern aircraft carriers.
