She would have one hell of a broadside with all 32 pounders, however I read that they eventually exchanged the upper deck 32s for 24s or 18s (I think it was 24s but not sure, looking for the quote) which brought her lower ports clearer of the waterline.
Maybe one could have two cards, with all 32's and the lower ports would have to remain closed in rougher seas, and then a card with slightly less broadside damage, but in which she can operate normally?
