Surcouf Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 A little, because is not a warship, just an advice vessel (for French Navy). Perhaps two or four guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazednConfused Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I want one. badly. do they really have the beam for 24's though? 6pdr more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Connor Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 24 pdr carronades that will be. Makes good sense to have carronades on a ship that size, it won't be a stable enough gunnery platform to take advantage of a cannon's range and accuracy.

Surcouf Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Carronades, yes they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prater Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) 6 24lb carronades on a schooner edit: The Lynx was a 6 gun ship historically, think they would make this an 8 gun schooner? 8 24lb carronades. You guys are terrible, now I have a ship to fantasize about that we will probably never get. Edited March 13, 2015 by Prater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 In French, thé maximum armament for this type of schooner is 10 carronades of 24-pdr + 2-gun of 8-pdr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 By the 19th century builders had learned that you can stuck really heavy guns on sloops and brigs. The flotilla battles of the Great Lakes are a case in point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flotilla battles of the Great Lakes are a case in point. Not only carronades but long 24s on pivot mounts amidships as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
