Hulk fire-ship defense patrol
Hulk: Hulks can challenge Fire Galleys early and provide a defensive response when the opponent invests in close-range naval pressure. Their short-range positioning can also create space near a Dock.

Overview
Hulk: Hulks can challenge Fire Galleys early and provide a defensive response when the opponent invests in close-range naval pressure. Their short-range positioning can also create space near a Dock.
Plan and execution
Keep Hulks near the route that protects Fishing Ships and Docks. Engage Fire Galleys as a group, then use the fleet to escort fishing or transport traffic through the contested area. Avoid exposing the ships to a demolition attack while they are clustered.
Risks and adaptation
Demolition Rafts can punish a concentrated Hulk force. Do not chase Fire Galleys into a trap or assume that one Hulk can hold the entire shoreline.
