And here's what I did.

I cut away the pink parts and used the gun from the cut away hull to add as a gun aft.

The stern was filed to get a more rounded look and then paint does the rest.

The main and mizzen masts were moved aft. I cut them off and drilled both the mast and the deck to strengthen the seam with a pin as is described elsewhere for the broken foremast problem. I also cut down a little on the foremast and the sails of the fore and mizzen masts to make the appearance of the ship a little smaller. HMS Surprise had a bigger main mast so that would be correct to keep as is or even add to if you can.
