Ok, the OP makes a fairly good point, and I agree that there must be some other sea Grimm out there. One that hopefully can't just take off and fly and then spend the entire fight flying, because that kind of makes it lose the charm of being a sea monster.

So I'l just say these 2 things:

1) Carcharodon is not latin for shark, it's greek for "jagged tooth". And in relation to sharks, it's just the name of a genus, of which the only living member is the Great White Shark. I'd rather name them "Megalodon", the actual name of that famous prehistorical giant shark.

2) The ship was pretty clearly outdated. It was even mostly made out of wood in an age where vehicles larger and more advanced are fully-metallic.

I feel the crew just didn't have enough money to get a good-enough diversity of defensive weaponry and just decided that if they were going to spend money on it, "One Shot, One Kill" > "Death of a Thousand Cuts".
