The nene-nui is an extinct species of Hawaiian goose. The American ship that carries this name isn't extinct, but she has another problem. I can't figure out what to do with her.

Her speed and cargo would make her a good cargo ship, but she's too costly for that role. Her abilities might make her a secondary fighter, but her cannons aren't good enough for that. She could try boarding enemy gold ships; she has the speed and the masts for it; but that's a hard way to win, as well as being a waste of her ability.

If you expect to face the English, this goose should do a pretty nice job backing up your big fighter(s), with a Captain on board. Otherwise, she is destined for the backwaters of your fleet, where all the substandard ships go.
