Man-of-war
The man-of-war (pl. men-of-war; also man of war, man-o'-war, man o' war, or simply man) was a British Royal Navy expression for a powerful warship or frigate from the 16th to the 19th century. The term often refers to a ship armed with cannon and propelled primarily by sails, as opposed to a galley which is propelled primarily by oars. The man-of-war was developed in England in the early 16th century from earlier roundships with the addition of a second mast to form the carrack. The 16th century saw the carrack evolve into the galleon and then the ship of the line. The evolution of the term has been given thus:
Description
The man-of-war design developed by Sir John Hawkins, had three masts, each with three to four sails. The ship could be up to 60 metres long and could have up to 124 guns: four at the bow, eight at the stern, and 56 in each broadside. All these cannons required three gun decks to hold them, one more than any earlier ship. It had a maximum sailing speed of eight or nine knots.

Man Of War
by: Kathy MarI am a Dorsai and I've learned a grisly skill
They've taught me how to win a war 10,000 ways to kill
And all the vicious weapons to be used each time I fight
Now I've become a weapon of such fearsome might
Chorus: I am no soldier, I'm a man of war
I am no soldier, I'm a man of war
My code is my life and my duty is my soul
The filling of our contract is my only kind of goal
I go where they tell me and I fight the ones they say
And none of us would think to ever run away
Chorus
We fight and we march to the mercenaries' drum
And many wars are ended by the rumor that we've come
We take to the field and the enemy all flies
I've seen them run in terror from the look in my eyes
Chorus
We land on some planet and we fight until we fall
Or till the war is ended and we hear them sound recall
They say we are bloodless, that we're nothing but machines
But still they beg to hire us when they have the means
Chorus
The years count up in kills and the battles still go on
And none of us believe that we will see a peaceful dawn
And it's aeons of victory to minutes of defeat
But I'm waiting for the day that you will make us obsolete
