So, you thought 20th Century ship actions were complicated.

This is a simple example of small ship actions of the late 18th Century,
with the URANIE as the cetrepiece.

Additionally, the above named vessels were collectively involved in over 60 ( sixty ) other assorted actions.

I have DELIBERATELY kept ALL the technical information out. If you want that there are loads of excellent tomes.
A full broadside. The traditional English salute.
Thanks. Sean.
