So they obviously buy into the more powerful and strengthened to take the extra weight story.
Although being Spanish could mean that they are a bit optimistic too.

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.
Could well be Spanish bias in play? My main point was to indicate the designers thought the Santa Ana was not any stronger than comparable 1st rates of the British fleet. Ares giving the Santa Ana more power doesn't seem justified (which most here have already agreed on). Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ares use a number of consultants from Spain on the third wave, which could well be the source of the Santa Ana's power in game? I don't think David Manley ever got an answer from Ares on this and I know he said he was going to ask them specifically.

As far as I know Jim, you are correct.
Dave never did get an answer to this question.
