Very interesting Dave.
I would have liked to see that in action, if it had been any better than the Santisima.
I wonder what its sailing qualities would have been like?

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Not that Santisima was that great... There were many first rates better than her. She was mostly a symbol.Originally Posted by Bligh
That's why I was questioning the Duke of Kent's capabilities Jonas.
Just like the Santisima it probably sailed like a brick.
It's just that ships that size would look good on the table, if Ares could get the scale right.
