Lovely little brig-sloop, be nice to see her ingame.

 

About the chasers, ships like this (indeed most ships) did not have dedicated chase guns, if chasers were needed then a pair of guns would be moved from the broadside to the otherwise empty chase ports.

 

Would be a cool feature, takes so long to move them back and forth.  Also, is it me, or does it have 9 gun ports on a side instead of 8?

Pretty brig, for sure!

It'll be interesting to oppose the French brig le Cygne.

USS Syren vs le Cygne!

They are a lot like them both.
