Gustav II Adolf has been described as a "keen artillerist" and wanted to make a ship that would be an artillery platform. Due to several factors, with a major one being a poor understanding of theoretical principles of shipbuilding, the Vasa sunk on its maiden voyage in 1628.

I understand that, in a lot of cases, a single ship may not change the course of events much, but what if the Vasa did not sink?
