Which risk increased on 18th-century warships deploying carronades?

💡 Explanation

High-mounted carronades raised a warship's center of gravity. This reduced its metacentric height. Therefore, ships became more vulnerable to capsizing from wave action. This is rather than improved stability because leverage increased.
