Corona was a one-member
Venetian Navy. Its guns were all made in bronze for prestige reasons. The ship, even if it was a well-made one, was not copied, and the Navy chose to skip to the cheaper Leon Trionfante class
instead.
Notes
- The Corona was the only Venetian sailing ship to embark 32-pounder guns, given that the following class' ships had the lighter 27-pounders.
