    We've all done that at some point in time in this game. And it will continue

    Have a look at the additional source listed on this page. Wonder if some of our French counterparts can find this book: http://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=2010 NNF-1774 Nomenclature des Navires Français de 1774 à 1792 Alain Demerliac Book

    Sorry about that! Got a few more: Edit: Seems like Wind posted the ones I posted earlier, but without labels. I'll come back tomorrow and add ranks to each one. Uniforms of the United States Navy, 1800-1808 Uniforms of the Federal Navy, 1794-1799 Uniforms of the Continental Navy, 1776-1783 Uniforms of the Royal Navy, 1748-1767

    If such a thing happens, and the devs understand this, they can give a redeemable that would allow a onetime transfer of your character and all coin/xp, ships/resources to that nation. God forbid they do microtransactions of such a thing...

    The OP of these next few images did his work in MS Paint (over a two month period). I'm not sure what I'm accomplishing by posting them, maybe just fleshing out the America just a little more...

    Came across these while doing some research on the USS America. Still need to check the validity of the images, but they're worth posting imo: United States Navy Uniforms: 1810-1815 Uniforms of the Royal Navy, 1767-1787 Uniforms of the Royal Navy, 1787-1795 Uniforms of the Royal Navy, 1795-1812

    This is purportedly a painting done of the USS America when she entered Brest Harbor. Note the stern artwork, different than the model shown earlier, am wondering if this was an exaggeration on the part of the painter.
  9. Haratik
    She is nice, but like some of the others here, I'm not so much a fan of the design of the period. Ah well.
  10. Haratik
    She would be a nice 4th rate to be sure. But with the Commerce due out, I'd like to see more representation in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rate lists by minor seafaring nations.
  11. Haratik
    Ain't she pretty...I am curious whether we have a Portuguese native lurking the forums that can find access to plans from his country or not... Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks as if you have two different models here. Something about the stern design...
  12. Haratik
    I take it you didn't bother to read the first three posts did you? The Franklin is there, fourth post down.The book did include a copy of the Independence's razee'd plan, but the timestamp is why I did not post it here.
  13. Haratik
    If it is the original, and the plans of the larger vessels can be scanned completely without error or blemish, then please, add them here, as the ones I posted are marred by the book binding.
  14. Haratik
    Is it the original book though, or a reprint? All the plans I posted above were from a reprinted copy. I was told the original is very hard to find, unless you're willing to fork out $300 or so for it.
  15. Haratik
    I would assume so. I'm at work, and a brief search through my phone reveals little more than what the wiki states, only echoed across 2-3 other sites. She did serve at least three years in French service, so she must have been rearmed, as I doubt the French would let a 74 go willy nilly with inadequate firepower. I did find this though, gave some more detail on her: http://3decks.pbworks.com/w/page/916130/USS%20America%20(1782)
  16. Haratik
    Unfortunately so. I would hazard a guess, or rather a few, as to why: 1. The financial burden of the war, coupled with the primary focus being on land 2. A lack of casting facilities for the guns 3. Whatever pieces were ready available were probably all artillery pieces, and refitted for use on a ship, hence the relatively small size, which, on a battlefield, would fit in with the Continental Army. If I recall correctly, the Army severely lacked anything larger than 18's during the course of the war.
  17. Haratik
    I can make a separate thread for her perhaps, or wait til there's another player vote toward the end of the year for new ships.
  18. Haratik
    That's the very one. Hardly any service between nations. Her Atlantic crossing was probably her longest voyage, but out of all the American 74's, she catches my eye the most.
  19. Haratik
    I lack a sea turtle and hair to fashion a harness. When are you scurvy scallopheaded sea dogs going to come back and save my marooned arse?
  20. Haratik
    Can't recall if you saw, but here's the Admiralty model of her: (Unimaginative stern, but I guess it wasn't a big factor for them)
  21. Haratik
    Oh she's pretty. ????

    I've added as much as I can within the amount of time I can provide. Unfortunately, my net is going to get cut later tonight and it may be a few months before I can rejoin the testing community. JohnyReb has a copy of the book and whatever I have not added, he can add when he gets his scanner fixed, hopefully one of the moderators can add his contributions to the list. Cheers!

    While scanning ship plans for my other thread, I came across a pair of smaller "tribute" ships, a schooner and a brig, that were built for the Dey of Algiers* by the Americans. The prize I've been looking for, the frigate Crescent (1797)**, was not in the book, and only text measurements seem to be available for her. The other two ships, are presented below: Tribute ship Skjoldebrand (1798) Tribute Ship Hassan Bashaw (1797/8) *Further reading: Definition of Dey **Not to be confused with any Royal Navy ships bearing the name HMS Crescent.

    I don't know whether to take that as sarcasm Tommy or if you're wanting all the sketches in the book. Whatever doesn't apply can be moved to the History section of course.
