Tom Farseer Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I think this is the recovery of the 1627 Galleon Vasa. The ingame Wasa is the Kronprins Gustav Adolph a Wasa-Class 3rd rate ship of the line from 1782... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship with the highest firepower at the time until the arrival of the USS constitution 170 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasa - launched 1627HMS Victory - launched in 1765 USS Constitution - launched in 1797 Even the ingame Wasa ( Kronprins Gustaf Adolph (62), 1782 ) which, as a third rate ship of the line is arguably heavier armed, was launched before the Connie. Don't get me wrong the Connie is an Icon but.... yeah... Not the highest firepower^^ Edited March 9, 2019 by Tom Farseer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santísima trinidad launched in 1769. But I mean ships of their kind or similar. 58 guns and 6 shells carried. Obviously, Victory, Santisima Trinidad style ships were much more powerful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
