It's just getting there that takes forever, even with the shipyard upgrade speeding up ship construction 10 times. If you managed to build one, it will be a massive drain of your gold and coal, but the ship itself? It can obliterate everything within the range of its guns with just a handful of (quickly reloaded) salvos. The game might be long decided or even end before you will do the pre-requested research and construct the damn thing. Awesome, but Impractical: Victoria, the 18th century battleship.
Wheel-locks are by far the most laborous and time-consuming type of firing mechanisms.
