This skill adds one fortification to a ship.

Each unit of fortification added to ship uses 250 units of the ship's carrying capacity. A fortified ship provides cover for

(units fortification / units hull) * 10

men; each of these men receives a defensive bonus in combat of

(units fortification / units hull) * 5

For example, a 3 unit hull carrying 7 units of fortification would provide a defensive bonus of +11 to the first 22 fighters on board the ship.
