| This appendix to the rule present lists of ships of the time of the sailing navy. They are classified
by country and are presented by decreasing power, first the ships-of-the-Line, starting with the most powerful,
then the razees (Vessels to which one or more bridges have been removed), then all the others in reverse alphabetical
order. Of course, these lists are very incomplete. For large nations, there are mainly large ships. For small vessels, we know only those who have been involved in historical events. For small nations, their fleets are much less well known and often their names would have to be translated. These lists include for each ship 4 parts: Part 1: Vessel identification with dates Orig = Origin: the coded country Class = The class of the ship, coded by taking the letter of the type of ship plus the number of guns, plus for frigates and smaller ships, the calibre of the largest of these guns. Examples: V118 = 118-gun ship; F036_18 = 36-pound frigate; C024_12 = 24-pound corvette Name = the name under which the ship is known on the dates indicated then and according to its armament and country (so the same ship may appear several times in multiple lists if captured or sold, under different names if renamed or under the same name if rearmed or transformed.) Start = Year when she appears under this name and appearance End = Year when she disappears under this name or appearance Part 2: the characteristics of the vessel in the game Pow = Power = number of power boxes on the log Cr = Crew = number of crew boxes Sp = Speed = number of speed boxes Tur = Turns = number of turns Part 3: Vessel Budget Values according to Crew Training M = bad crew (-2 dice) R = recruits (-1 dice) N = normal crew V = Veteran crew (+1 dice) E = elite crew (+2 dice) Part 4: The fate of the vessel, if known. Ship type letter: V = Ship; TT = Troop transport; S = Sloop; R = Razee (ex-ship); Pri = prison ship; Mar = merchant ship (more or less armed); Hop = Hospital ship; K = Caraque; G = Schooner (Goélette); FV = Steam frigate; FR = Rowing frigate; F = Frigate; Ch = Chebec; C = Corvette; BG = Schooner- Brick (Brick-Goélette); B = Brick.. |
