You mean this part, right?
> Four more heavy guns were intended for the stern, but the cannon foundry could not cast guns as fast as the navy yard could build ships, and Vasa waited nearly a year after construction was finished for its armament. When the ship sailed in August 1628, eight of the planned armament of 72 guns had still not been delivered
- gerdesj 7y agoPerhaps not quite so bad as the Vasa - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Rose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Rose At least the Mary Rose had served for over 30 years but it seems that upgrades went over the top. A 500 ton ship was turned into a 700 ton ship.
