The French Fleet has seen some expansion adding three Ships of the line since the last update. I've also ordred a French First Rate. The French force currently stands at 3 Ships of the line (3rd rates) 2 Frigates (5th rates) 1 Corvette (6th rates) and three brigs.
The greatest expansion has been the British Fleet which stood at a single frigate back in May. The Royal Navy now stands at 2 Ships of the Lind (3rd Rates ) and 5 Frigates (all 5th Rates). Two of the frigates are smaller 3d prints that could be used as 5th or 6th rates.
The USN is may larges fleet with two of the "Super Frigates" United States and President. There are 6 other 5th rate frigates. For Smaller ships there is a Sloop of War (6th Rate) five Brigs and a pair of Revenue Cutters. Thats a total of 16 ships.
Last of all the unaligned ships, merchants pirates and so forth. One large merchant and two small merchants, four Xebecs, a stand of gunboats, nine schooners and eight small vessels/boats.
Very impressive
ReplyDeleteBeautiful looking ships and most impressive all 'en regatta'!

These are turning into quite extensive fleets.
ReplyDeleteSupper Frigates sounds like a dastardly Jonathan trick - invite the enemy over to eat and while the officers are distracted capture their ships.
Thank you for the humorous way you pointed out that error :)
