The trireme was a Greek ship that used 3 vertical rows of rowers to attain naval speeds unheard of in that day- 8-9 mph. A percussion instrument and training would keep the rowers in time- something vital for the amount of oars in a tight space. The trireme would not be rowed by soldiers, but by trained rowers. Even with this extra weight, the boat would still out-perform any other boat out there.
