Bombardeiros
The Portuguese caravels and naus that round the Cape of Good Hope face Indian Ocean fleets composed of larger but lightly armed vessels. To turn this disparity into a decisive advantage, our shipwrights shall reinforce the upper decks and gun ports of the new naus to mount heavy bronze cannon cast at the Lisbon arsenal under the direction of Bombardeiro-Mor João Anes. This reinforced gun platform doctrine will give Portuguese fleets the standoff firepower to destroy the Mamlūk navy at Diu and secure the spice route for a century.
