The 24's--no plans except 1777 Boston, but I'll add any I find here and welcome any help. I'm skeptical of the short lengths and high length/beam ratios for Deane and Connecticut, so I'm breaking them out with the no-data ships.
"Knowns"
24 1776 Delaware/1777 HMS Delaware 35.67x10.02 22x12#
24 1777 Boston/1780 HMS Charlestown 34.82x9.75 24x12
24 1778 Deane 96'nd [keel? Boston keel is 94'] x 32' 24x12
24 1798 Ganges 35.46x9.55
24 1798 George Washington 32.92x9.91
24 1799 Connecticut 93'nd [keel? Boston keel is 94'] x 31'
The steeper "banana curve" of Boston's topline looks rather odd compared to normal US practice, almost like a throwback to earlier times in Europe
"Unknowns"
24 1798 Merrimack NO DATA
24 1798 Portsmouth NO DATA
For a battery of 24x12# I would expect Deane to be in the ballpark of Boston's size, so I'm wondering if her length and Connecticut's aren't keel. EDIT: Boston's keel was 94' and beam 32', so I would guess Deane and Connecticut to be pretty close in size. I'd also say in game-package terms 1799 Adams should cluster here rather than with the 12pdr 32's.
