Copenhagen trials.
In order to test out the effacy and calculate the firepower of Trekoner Fort for our upcoming battle of Copenhagen, I ran the three British Frigates up to it and conducted the following test.
First fire from the fort at long range was fairly telling.

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.
Return fire from the leading Frigate was desultry at the least.

Things warmed up a bit as the frontal battery came into action and the lead Frigate replied to it.

Number two and three Frigates now fired as the fort reloaded.

The condition of the fort with all frigates having delivered one broadside was now thus.

With the fort now reloaded the rearmost Frigate now took fire for the first time.

It was at this point that the ships now anchored in the position that they had assumed in the actual battle.
