    I have a fun scenario in the works with a fictional Revolutionary ship.

    In the real world, the colonists had two frigates building in Philadelphia when the British rolled into town. The unfinished frigates were dragged up the Delaware River to save them, but eventually were burned.

    In my version, the Concerned Merchants of Philadelphia were paying to have a 32 gun frigate built alongside the government frigates, and being a private enterprise was barely far enough along to sail. Unfortunately, her broadside consists of 6 pdrs diverted from the colonial army since 12 pdrs aren't available.

    The mission is to breakout of the Delaware and sail for Charlestown where the 12 pdrs will be waiting...

    That sounds like an interesting scenario, Dobbs.
