I have actually served on a gun crew for one of those BL Guns Gary. I was a bringer up and they don't half reload and fire fast.

No-one expects a ship full of dwarves.
It was hard work keeping up with the gun team Gary.
They had four breeches. One on the cannon ready to go.
One waiting, one empty one I was running back to the loader, and one the Loader had ready for my next run to the gun whilst he reloaded the return.

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.
