Its pitching does not tire the mast or its artillery. Fairly gentle pitching movement, very gentle rolling. Sails closest very well for a vessel of his rank. With the wind on the quarter is most advantageous. This ship steers perfectly when it is 1 foot 8 inches different. Its pitching does not tire the mast or its artillery.

What additional information are you looking for?

France was the first to build frigates of 24 with La Forte and L'Egyptienne by the shipbuilder Caro. Unfortunately they did not have success in France unlike the US. Later France "copied" the US 24-pdr frigates. And in France, all the frigates are built in 24-pdr... (year 1820/1824) LOL.

SL is from the 18th century, and the USS Pennsylvania is more recent. Of course the US Navy already had a fleet at that time, and I think that if US ships are to appear in this new game, it is these ships that we must see at sea.

Will we have maintenance reports (at sea) and will we have to put sailors to work?

The French ASW frigate Latouche Treville with l'Hermione (2015).

Will we be able to carry an anchor to anchor it in a specific place?

Will we be able to make repairs in the harbour, or even upgrades (copper lining)?

Commit yourself to l'Hermione!

This is not true when the current (drift) has more effect than the wind (windage). And in some cases, the captain may want to stay in the direction of the wind rather than being blown away by the current. And the commander chooses to do this to avoid "running on his anchor". The current could push the ship forward and it would pass over the anchor. We mustn't do that! So if the direction of the wind allows it, we put against (I don't know if it's the right word in English ) the mizen-topsail.
