Check out my RC trireme. It is called Triunphus (Latin for triumph). Ive spent 1 year and a half making it. For practicalities sake I only made one bank of oars but maybe I'll add the other two some time in the future. It is 105 cm long (35 m in historical ones) and has 58 oars (historically they had between 170 and 174). It is run by one 12 volt motor( controlled by an electric speed control) and has one servo to control the two large oars/rudders at the rear. there is a onager in the front and on the tower there is a ballista (unfortunately they don't work).
