    Off the cuff I'd say an Ocean stretched out across one more box, one less Veer and maybe a little better Musketry and Boarding due to higher crew numbers. (Or maybe not, offset by lower crew quality.) Four decks, but one was stem-to-stern loaded with useless POS guns that they'd have been better served to line people up and have 'em P*SS out those gunports instead.

    Totally agree from my reading.
    She looked impressive but did not perform any better than other three deckers if as well, and sailed like a brick.

    POS, DB?

    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.

    Oh, you mean the guns... those stupid Piece Of [REDACTED] obusiers that Le Frogs pushed on their fleet and allies. Catapults launching poop-flinging monkeys would have made a greater contribution to combat power...
