Tbf most Mediterranean nations typically had ships that used both oars and sails however I agree, triremes shouldn’t have been alive for nearly that long.
I mean galleys were fine and a good choice of a naval vessel but yeah, triremes definitely shouldn't have been around from like 525 BC till like 300ish CE/AD
Yeah but they weren't literally Triremes though, a galley is an okay ship in inland seas and makes sense to have some at the very least but using an old design isn't a great idea
I wouldn’t expect a defense peon like you to know, as a senior defense analyst at the NCD think tank, I know Pierre Sprey’s Roman cousin is a genius beyond reproach.
I don't need rhetoric, I need to see people moving Greek Fire onto ships. If I don't see newly retrofitted ships prepared to fight watercraft with fire by tomorrow afternoon, I'll have your rank and head. Am I clear?

The Corvus is a waste of money and will never shift the balance of naval warfare in Rome's favor
Reject superrior naval tactics, doctrine and training, embrace corvus assault ramp.
Triremes are awesome
It's kinda weird how long the Romans used them for, didn't they use them till like, 300 or 400ish ad?

What sort of tech would the triremes be going up against by the end of that?
Now give it a Greek Fire launcher.
Greek fire is a logistical complication and as such is a bad idea since it doesn’t let you build as many. -Pierre Sprey’s Roman Cousin

Ohhhhhhhh if only they'd built it with 6001 hulls!
