SteelSandwich Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It might be ny lack of russian navy knowledge, but this doesnt strike me as 1693 and 1689... Looks modern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 hmm.. 1693 it says.. But I am not in line with that date. See. At the end of the 17th century nobody porpose build one decked frigates. You would have a SoL design, remove the guns from the now empty "main gundeck" and what you have left is a shiptype which eventually evolved into the massive spardeck frigates of the mid 19th century. If that text said 1793 I would agree. That Hullshape tho. Where was she supposed to sail? in homewaters only I guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That's a bibliographical reference. Probably *something* State Archive Voenniy Morskoy Flot (Navy) #1689. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
