10 Gargantuan Things Made Solely For Killing People

In the late 18th Century, Spain really wanted to be the big swinging daddy of the high seas, and eagerly participated in the Anglo-Spanish-French-American shenanigans surrounding the War of Independence. In 1769 they launched a massive warship from a shipyard in Cuba that was bigger than anyone else's ship and therefore must be the coolest. She was named the Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad and she had guns sprouting from every orifice, between 112-120 of them.

But that wasn't enough for the Spanish navy. They wanted more guns, and added them by enclosing the sides of the deck and putting a bunch more steely death tubes there. The total was 140 guns, by God.

All those guns meant the Santísima Trinidad handled like a Weeble and was nicknamed 'El Ponderoso' by its seasick crew. Her service was less than stellar because if you're the biggest ship in the battle, everyone knows to shoot at you, which they did. She met her demise at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where she got all her extremities shot off, surrendered, and was scuttled by the British.
