Well... The Swedish royal navy was a little inconsistent with ranks. At the Gustav III war with Russia (1788-1790), the blue water navy used the same ranks as the archipelago fleet which used army ranks, perhaps due to officers being moved between them. Johan is a major in the stories so far. To my memory the navy was reorganized when the king did his coup d'état in 1772. We still had the Schoutbynacht which was rear admiral though. I really like that title.

I don't know if I had boring die rolls but the big Russian sailed a little too straight I think only making quite small turns. In the last few turns it had lost two masts if I recall correctly and so wasn't that maneuverable but a 74 can turn very tight in Sails and this didn't. Little of a pity. It would have made things more interesting.
