In sight of what has been said, I would like to propose a new motion:

Motion 6.14: By the end of the consul's term, the total size of our fleet should be at least that of the Greek and Carthaginian (our two closest enemies) combined. No less than a third of it should be made of heavy vessels (Corvus Quinquirremes), and information should be gathered immediately about the size o the fleets of our rivals.
