History[]
| โ | The Mengchong, or 'covered swooper,' was a significant warship in ancient Chinese fleets, particularly during the Three Kingdoms period. These vessels were relatively small and agile, covered with ox-hide for protection, and designed to transport infantry for boarding actions. Despite their limited size and crew capacity, the Mengchong could leverage their maneuverability to outfight and outlast larger main battleships. |
