Use of mortars was pretty much limited to fire from static positions on shore or from bomb ketches at anchor, and in the overwhelming majority of cases at static targets (shore or anchored vessels).

Thanks shipmates, that pretty well backs up my knowledge as far as it goes. So now we have eliminated plunging fire except for shore or the Bomb Ketch, I can stick with what I have been doing prior to the introduction of my Moorish Citadel.

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.
