Using your newfound knowledge, do the Spanish ever make use of carronades on spar deck frigates like the British and Americans? In my hunt for the answer so far, it seems no, but that would be a significant weight of shot disadvantage at close range. I haven't found anything for the French using spar decked carronade frigates either.
Not had time to do anything but skim through the book yet Dobbs, but if I find anything I will let you know.

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.
