Ironclad USS Cairo by SR

Auto Credit Based on SpiritusRaptor's Subsea Explorer (4WD) by SR
A classic Ironclad paddle steamer from the US Civil war era.
Mechanically powered (by paddles). High geared, so even 20% thrust will get it to about maximum speed (about 20 mph).
I left the paddles un-clad for visual effect.
Operating Instructions:
VTOL to steer, so no need to make extreme turns, just set and forget. VOTL up to a quarter of the way for a normal turn, however if an extreme turn is needed then all the way to the top or bottom which will make the opposite paddle reverse.
Activations 1 through 3 for the Guns.
Activation 6 for life boats (just in case).
Try cockpit view for a view of the engine room!
Enjoy
