Weapons capable of changing the tide of war... have been secured, and soldiers to handle those weapons have been created.
Military provisions are available, and various other logistics supplies are being prepared.
Now a means to transport them is needed.
Obviously, if we're not planning to build roads through hundreds of kilometers of wilderness from here to Florida, there's only one option.
We need ships.
I thought about reaching out to England, but then I realized they're also in a tight spot, requisitioning ships to use as warships at the slightest provocation.
So we have to procure ships ourselves.
Clippers are difficult.
Clippers are transport ships that sacrifice everything else for speed, making them difficult to use right away. Besides, being large ships from several centuries in the future, they take a long time to build.
Since the goal is to move a not-so-distant distance, what we need now isn't speed but stability and ample loading capacity.
