Sir Cloudsley-Shovell

For me this is the biggest and best news since the announcement of Elite Dangerous for the PS4! Thank you Devs!!!

Wel thats it for me.No PVE,no longer interested in the Game.WHY should i HAVE to keep in a "PVE Zone" that has so few British Ports on?Bad move Developers.I shall be uninstalling NA,shame as it was shaping up to be a great game,now you killed it!

Not Stricly a painting but some very Early Photos of the Last of the Wooden Ships! Photo taken in the Menai Strait mid-April 1953. On 14th April 1953 HMS Conway was under tow from her normal mooring to Birkenhead up the Menai Strait/ the Swellies between the Welsh mainland and Anglesey. Close to a place called the Platters on the Caernarfon side of the strait she ran aground due to strong currents and could not be refloated. She caught fire 30th October 1956 during dismantling and burnt to the waterline. HMS Calypso. HMS Marlborough. HMS Cambridge(Gunnery School) HMS St Vincent.

1666 – Second Anglo-Dutch War: Rear Admiral Robert Holmes leads a raid on the Dutch island of Terschelling, destroying 150 merchant ships, an act later known as "Holmes's Bonfire".

1779 – American Revolutionary War: The Royal Navy defeats the Penobscot Expedition with the most significant loss of United States naval forces prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Now you know why there is a PVE server and people love it!

It seems it didnt take that long.This excerpt from the book "Jack Tar";Life in Nelsons Navy mentions it was a few minutes. "The Drum and Fife Beat to Quarters,bulkheads were knocked away,the Guns released from their Confinement,the whole dread Paraphenalia of battle was produced,and after a few minutes of hurry and confusion,every man and boy was at his Post"

I watched the WHOLE raising of the Mary Rose.at the time i was serving at Royal Naval Hospital Haslar.The wreck was around 200 yards off the Seawall.I could see the whole thing from my Cabin window!

Thanks for the replies.

How many NM are the squares from one side to the other?

Better late than never i spose!

PVE only on the Pacific Side of South America?I REALLY do hope not.There are no where near enough Islands there(Unless your are going to include Polonesia and NZ)for Crafting to be effective.Sailing HUNDREDS of miles to gather materials is going to get boring VERY quickly,as would sailing up and down the Coast!Just keep the PVE server!If we lose the dedicated PVE server i will basically stop playing!!!!!

I ended up teleporting to PR but that still leaves me wit a long voyage from PR to St Georges.

I am now in Beaufort,last night i was in St Georges,Bermuda!!!!Can the Devs please send me back to ST Georges where i was last night.

Not of Naval Action era,but possibly one of the great all time Naval films.Based on true events while the World watched the World Cup in Korea the PRNK crossed the Northern Limit Line into South Korean waters engaging South Korean Gunboats.

I will just leave this here.

The TRRN is recruiting,Presently only in PVE.The Fleet is based at St Georges,Grenada and Current AOO is the Venezualan coast and The Windwards.Ideally we would like Ex RN or Ex/Serving Naval personel from Foreign Navies.This is NOT set instone.The TRRN is a Clan for PVE players that dont have massive amounts of Play time.

Stuck for a nane for your RN Ship?Want to see what history she had?Then look no further. http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/18-1900/Index.html

High Class CN's should be able to be used on ANY Ship!!!!

I have 9 High Class CN's which are now TOTALLY USELESS to me!All are for sale.I am based in St Georges on PVE server.In game name Sir Challoner Ogle.

I kind of like the changes to the Crew,but i do have a few reservations.I just hope that they wont be detrimental to Gameplay.I can see a lot more "Cut and Run" scenarios when your crew has been smitten and reduced,people wont want to lose their "precious" ships so will do a runner also they will not initiate combat unless they have a massive crew advantage,and that means 1st Raters,i dont want a game where thats all thats being used!
