Seconded.

Motion #5.3: We should recruit a fleet of Corvus Quinquiremes that may challenge the Carthaginian and Greek navies for control of the seas. Syracuse and Tarentum should be developed to this end, for example, by building armouries to enhance our ships.

If you were to amend this motion, I would second it and it would provide the Senate will a clear specific choice.
I agree to your wording, but I want to shift the focus slightly towards economic development. This is the final wording of my

MOTION 5.3:

We should recruit a fleet of Corvus Quinquiremes that may challenge the Carthaginian and Greek navies for control of the seas. Syracuse and Tarentum should be developed to this end, by building the necessary facilities to enhance our ships. The necessary steps must be also taken so that when our fleet reaches the size needed to carry a consular army, we have a monthly income of at least 5000 denarii.

Corollary 1 to motion 5.3:
From now on, a fleet capable of transporting a consular army will be named Consular Fleet

Corollary 2 to motion 5.3:

A fleet capable of transporting a Praetorian army is to be named Praetorian Fleet

Corollary 3 to motion 5.3:

A fleet of 5 or less ships not intended for transportation, but war, is to be called Auxiliary fleet

I leave these to the consideration of the librarian, and my fellow senators.
