However, just when everything seemed ready, they awkwardly discovered a new problem.
"The spoils are too rich, and two hundred people can't crew three warships, especially since there's a battleship among them!"
The sail system of this era's sailing battleships is complex, and without enough crew, they simply can't operate. Even a simple sea maneuver requires perfect cooperation between the rudder and the sail system, and any small mistake can result in a very awkward situation.
Therefore, the feat of Jack Sparrow and William Turner sailing away with a warship all by themselves is practically a cheat.
According to the normal crew allocation, to achieve the basic three-shift rotation, a standard Level 4 battleship normally requires 350 permanent crew members.
No choice but to count all the sailors on hand now, making do with only two shifts for continuous sailing, and the other two warships would have to lower their sails and be towed by the battleship.
