'Courageux' French Ship Courageux (1753) She was captured by the British ship HMS Bellona, also of 74 guns on 13 August 1761, whilst in the company of two frigates. Courageux sighted Bellona in company with the frigate Brilliant. The British ships pursued, and after 14 hours, caught up with the French ships and engaged, the Brilliant attacking the frigates, and Bellona taking on Courageux. The frigates eventually got away, but Courageux struck her colours, and was later repaired and taken into the Royal Navy as the third rate HMS Courageux.

Panteleymon Victoria 66 gun ship Panteleymon Victoria The construction of this ship began on the 22nd of March 1719 in St Petersburg under the direction of well known shipwright Blais Pangalo and she first sailed on the 27th of July 1721. The ship was named in honour of the Gangut (1714) and Grengam (1720) Battle victories. Between 1722 and 1727 the ship was part of the Baltic squadron and was involved in exploration of the gulf of Finland.

Im not sure if the Devs are still taking suggestions for new ships to be modeled before the release of the game, but a ship of the line a little later in period with different looking stern works, slightly different rig and more spartan bow features would give the game a sense of how ship construction evolved quickly from the 1700's to the 1820's. HMS Ganges was an 84 gun 2nd rate ship of the line, built of teak in the Royal Navies Bombay shipyard in 1821, she has a couple very notable differences in comparison with ships designed in the 1750s like Victory. Instead of main and mizzen staysails she has gaff rigged spencers on the fore and main that can be brailed in like the spanker. Her stern gallery has a distinctly different design than that of earlier days, and her bow is devoid of the fancy looking head rails you see on ships like Bellona and Victory. This picture was taken of her at anchor in front of my hometown ( Victoria, British Columbia) in the 1850's. She was flagship of the Pacific Station between 1857-61. She was notable in that she was the last active duty Sailing ship to serve as a flagship in the Royal Navy. She is a Canopus class ship of the line. She was in active service for more than 100 years.

HMS Caesar was an 80-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 16 November 1793 at Plymouth. She was designed by Sir Edward Hunt, and was the only ship built to her draught. She was also one of only two British-built 80-gun ships of the period, the other being HMS Foudroyant (1798). Battle of Algeciras Bay She was involved in the Battle of Algeciras Bay in 1801, during which her Master, William Grave, was killed and buried in Trafalgar Cemetery in Gibraltar. Battle of Cape OrtegalThe Battle of Cape Ortegal was the final action of theTrafalgar Campaign, and was fought between a squadron of the Royal Navy and a remnant of the fleet that had been destroyed several weeks earlier at the Battle of Trafalgar. It took place on 4 November 1805 off Cape Ortegal, in north-west Spain and saw a squadron under Captain Sir Richard Strachan in Caesar defeat and capture a French squadron under Rear-Admiral Pierre Dumanoir le Pelley. Battle of Les Sables-d'OlonneIn 1809, she took part in the Battle of Les Sables-d'Olonne. FateShe was converted to serve as a depot ship in 1814, and was broken up in 1821. General characteristics Class and type: 80-gun third rate ship of the line Tons burthen: 1992 tons (2024 tonnes) Length: 181 ft (55 m) (gundeck) Beam: 51 ft 3 in (15.62 m) Depth of hold: 22 ft 4 in (6.81 m) Armament: 80 guns: Gundeck: 30 × 32 pdrs Upper gundeck: 32 × 24 pdrs Quarterdeck: 14 × 9 pdrs Forecastle: 4 × 9 pdrs Strachan's Action after Trafalgar, 4 November 1805: Bringing Home the Prizes After their defeat at Trafalgar in 1805, the remnants of the Franco-Spanish fleet dispersed and sought safety to seaward. Off Cape Ortegal, north-west Spain, was a squadron of British ships under the command of Sir Richard Strachan. His brief was to apprehend Captain Allemand's Franco-Spanish Rochefort squadron and when a group of enemy ships were sighted he initially assumed that they were Allemand's. In fact they were commanded by Rear-Admiral Dumanoir-Le-Pelley who was trying to reach safety with his four ships of the line; the 'Formidable', 80 guns, 'Mont Blanc', 74 guns, 'Scipion', 74 guns and 'Duguay-Trouin', 74 guns. An action ensued in which all four French ships were taken. The painting shows the four ships represented as prizes being carried home to Plymouth. The 'Caesar', 80 guns, is shown in broadside and bow view, flying the red ensign from the stern. The holes in her sails testify to the action and she has the captured French ship 'Formidable', 80 guns, in tow. Pendennis Castle, Falmouth, is visible in the background to the right together with the coastline of Cornwall. Other British ships involved in the action are also towing their captured ships along the English Channel. In the foreground a small boat flying the white ensign is laden with people watching the scene. Several of the men wave their hats to salute the vessels as they sail past and serve to underscore that this has been a British victory. The captured French ships were all added to the Royal Navy, with the 'Formidable', becoming the 'Brave', and the 'Duguay-Trouin', the 'Implacable'. Strachan's action gave the final blow to Napoleon's invasion plans. He was promoted to Rear-Admiral on 9 November 1805 and each of the captains involved in the action was presented with a gold medal. Plans:

So I was thinking about who would win. The HMS victory or 5 RIBs (you might call them something different in America related to brand naming of the original ones but they're these) each one fitted with a co-axial machine gun with standard (non-armour piercing rounds) loaded with 100 rounds each giving them 500 higher velocity bullets. Crewed by 4 soldiers each who are all armed with a standard assault rifle (no drum mags or huge mags) as well as a dumb-fire (no guidance whatsoever) missile launcher/recoilless rifle of your choosing except for anything capable of launching nuclear warheads like the Davey Crockett. All missiles are to be standard HE or HEAT rounds except for one single fuel-air missile. I'm on the fence when it comes to things like laser dazzlers or laser rangefinders or anything that would serve as a huge force multiplier. As for the victory; she will be fully crewed along with a detachment of marines. All shot types of the time will be on board and she will be crewed by an able and battle hardened crew. As for morale it would be good to remember that the captain at least knew of congreve rockets, the automatic firing would probably be the biggest force multiplier and morale breaker.

'Adventure' 1646-1684 44-Guns Adventure was a 34-gun fourth-rate frigate of the English Royal Navy, built by Peter Pett II at Woolwich and launched in 1646. The term 'frigate' during the period of this ship referred to a method of construction, rather than a role which did not develop until the following century. By 1677 her armament had been increased to 40 guns. Adventure was rebuilt as a 44-gun fourth rate at Chatham Dockyard in 1691. She was captured by the French off Martinique, in the West Indies on 1 March 1709. Rare blueprints!!! Get them while they last!!! We badly need a nice 4th rate in this game and I present this ship as a good candidate for next ship addition.

Noticed lack of figurhead...are this one dont have any?

This si ship of the line friesland there is another one from later build but cannot find that.

I think that this would be a nice addition as a British Capital ship. Based on the draught of the Royal George she has a certain splendor to her. Also she had 18s rather than 12s on her upper gun deck. If someone had plans or the capacity to model her I think that she would fit in well. I refer to the 1790 Queen Charlotte (Glorious First of June) as opposed to the 1810 ship of the same name. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRcncJ8-xCmL4TSmjY2EomDPBx5VgC_e7_itrpI8ce81sMjAfwO https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTv8hFxu5aW9Gv7ln7wxwx_vKydBDvqDs80gMda3FEtdoPdSdmz http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad255/stuartwaters/hmsqueencharlottefigureheaddetail_zpsfbab21ca.jpg

'Prince Frederick' The Prince Frederick was launched in 1714 as the 'Expedition'. The following year she was re-named in honor of King George I's eight-year-old grandson, Frederick. More facts. 'Expedition' was rebuilt as a 70-gun third rate in 1699 at Chatham Dockyard. She was rebuilt for a second time as a 70-gun third rate to the 1706 Establishment at Portsmouth Dockyard, and was relaunched on 16 August 1714. She was renamed HMS Prince Frederick in 1715. Her final rebuild was carried out at Deptford, where she was reconstructed as a 70-gun third rate to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment. The Prince Frederick was part of Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon's fleet and took part in the expedition to Cartagena de Indias during the War of Jenkin's Ear. Prince Frederick was sold out of the navy in 1784. Plans Sister ship 'Elizabeth' Model
