So far, Berengar had made some game changing innovations to his army and their equipment. Service Revolvers, Stick Grenades, Rifled Breechloaders, and even Gatling guns would soon begin production. However, as his Army's technological advancements soared through the sky, it became increasingly clear that the Navy was lagging behind.
While his Army was rushing headfirst into the Industrial Age, his Navy was still operating with Frigates powered by sails. Berengar had invested a substantial cost into these mighty vessels, but already their time was ending, at least in service to his Royal Navy.
Ideally, the Berengar-Class Frigates still had many years left of service before they needed retrofitting. Austria could easily sell the ones they had manufactured to their allies after replacing them with something more modern. However, there was also another path that opened itself up to Austria.
