Ned Loe Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Launched in 1719 at Portmouth. In 1782 Royal William took part in the navy operations which led to Gibraltar’s liberation. Also in that same year, the ship was involved in the salvage attempt of Royal George, which overturned in Spithead causing the death of 900 persons. In the end it was assigned as anchor-watch at Portsmouth, until 1813 , then demolished. Its survival for almost a century compares strongly with the typical six-year life span of so many other ships. Armament : First battery: 34 guns of 32 inches Second battery: 28 guns of 24 inches Third battery: 18 guns of 8 inches GUNS 104 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hood Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Just scale down the Royal William to a second rate based on her lines, HMS Barfleur that way we don't have another first but second lol! If you want French first rates then I suggest looking at Bretagne (renamed to Revolutionnaire), L'Orient is another famous one, Terrible or Montagne just to name a few.

Balck Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Want a French ship, iconic and astonishingly beautiful? Soliel Royal. Also, if we are doing 17th century, gotta have some Dutch ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hood Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Just making another sneaky push for the second rate HMS Barfleur (built on Royal William lines) to be incorporated if some talented shipbuilder cares to do so. Would fill the second rate requirement and I'm sure that I could raid the coffers to lend a hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balck Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Bump in hopes of seeing her in game one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado71 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) That's one of the most beautiful ships ever built. It seems that there are some plans of it here. Edited March 5, 2015 by colorado71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
