Missiles in the Age of Sail
What if tube launched fin stabilized missiles RPG’s, Bazookas, Mortars had been developed earlier in the Age of Sail? Black powder smooth bore cannon duels (ship to ship barrages) were usually under a thousand yards.
Could we see a Katyashu or Nebelwerfer type of small incendiary rockets used to set other ships sails aflame then heavier explosive warhead rockets used to sink enemy shipping? jayel
