Actually I believe this ship did sail, although probably in a less awesome fashion and in a less complete state. As I recall the ship was never finished because Royal funding was cut short after the king's death. The interrex after that made it even worse. When the Commonwealth was finally stable after Bátory was elected King, he was you know kicking Ivan's ass, he and the nobility didn't see a reason to fund a navy (Sweden wasn't their enemy yet). The ship was finally scuttled in 1587.
