Iron Islands military

[Loren the last]

This is about the Iron Islands military numbers.

In a feast for crows it is said that Euron Greyjoy has invaded the shield islands with 1000 ships, Harys Swyft says that someone has most likely counted double but the Iron Born themselves even say that it will be difficult to sail 1000 ships to essos. The romans had 100 sailors and 300 marines on there ships that would give the iron born 400,000 men now i know these were large ships but still any war ship should have more then at least 50 men per ship minimum. It just does not make sense

Any thoughts
