[edit] Rate

The latest edit is interesting, I wonder whether there were different rates in the French Navy at the time... I think that there was typically an emphasise on manoeuverability over firepower, so they tended to be smaller on average (the French were quite obsessed with the 74-gun...).

I need to find a big, authoritative book on the subject ! :p Rama 11:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
