Say hello to the USS Constitution.



A lower deck battery of 24 pounders and an upper deck battery of 18 pounders make short work of anything smaller than a ship of the line.

She is beautiful, there is no doubt.

Living an hour north of Boston I have been to see her many times. Her and her sisters signaled to all the other nations our emergence as a world power.


Everybody gets everything they want. I wanted a mission. And for my sins..they gave me one.

well, i wouldn't quite push it as far as world power at that point in time, world powers then where still prussia (germany), russia, england, france and spain (and if they wanted to be china, but they kept to their side of the world).

Certainly showed you were a rudy stubborn lot though who wouldnt do as they were told without throwing a tantrum smile wave2

In Naval Action all nations can use all ships. Otherwise it would probably be impossible to balance it all out.

If you think a Dutch Consitution looks weird you haven't seen the Victory flying French colours!

Oh, the horror. Next thing you know the CSS Alabama will be flying the Union banner. Nice shots, this game has me intrigued.
