Actually, our hulls were extremely hard. One of the main Spanish shipyards was in Havana, and they used fucking mahogany to build ships.
You forgot the best ones: Dutch ships = smaller & lighter = faster and can sail in the shallows.
Tis’ why the HMS Hood was suck a disaster. Ammo wasn’t stowed safely. If the Admiralty followed procedure properly then Hood possibly survived
Spaniards too sleepy to employ a proper cannonade, mucho cannons defeated by mucho siesta
more gank less tank, the true way of the champion
Roman Empire:
What is this ship thing the Cartagenians keep talking about?
Apparently due to crew training among other things, there were periods where Royal Navy crew could get off three salvos for every one that the Spanish or French could. I think that was the sound bite I heard somewhere.
Swedish Navy:
“We invented the submarine before anyone else!”
Russian navy:
“Is it summer yet?”
‘spray and pray’ is a valid tactic at times
Trafalger showed exactly who won…
Nelson’s a badman!
“If we just go straight down the middle and fire our port and stbd cannons at the same time we can defeat them both at once.”
– Horatio Nelson probably
Swedes want to know how you got 3 decks of cannon without sinking.
Dutch ruled the seas in the 17th century most sailing terms come from dutch .So i tell you the winner is not amongst these three posers.
