Russian Ship Collection (With Plans) Completed!

Rade replied to Niagara_1812's topic in National ship and other thematic or special ship collections

I know that this one is a little bit out of timeframe. But I believe that someone of you guys could help me find all plans for this one. It is the Lefort, Imperatritsa Aleksanda class ship of the line, from 1835.

Hy to all. I'm not very knowledgeable in aspects of naval architecture and terminology. But I was wondering what sort of armament you are talking here about. Are you referring to 32pd carronades or canons? And one more thing. In your opinion how would she behave if she was to be armed with 24pd long guns on gun deck instead, in terms of speed, maneuverability and stability as a gun platform? Thanks
