Notes
  1. Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p189.
gollark: iHoe, 500% more efficient than typical hoes, but only if you use iPlants.
gollark: Their naming scheme is beginning to break down though. "Xs Max"?
gollark: They're a few years behind the times, but with buzzwords, brand naming, and shininess.
gollark: Of course they did; 'tis Apple.
gollark: You... get to throw away money for a device slightly shinier than the competitor?
