    Dobbs, one other point worth noting is that an Amazon is MUCH smaller and shorter (about 5m and a couple hundred tons BM) than a Concorde. I suspect this is why Ares beefed up Concorde's Burthen--Enterprise and Amazon are closer than Amazon and Concorde; American "28s" were de-facto 12pdr 32's and our nominal 12pdr 32's were around Concorde size and in practice more like "pocket 40's."
