My frigate and Sloop can make short work of most of what you can send out.
besides, i can dash out to sea, making you follow. and you never know what i
could be planning, then.... Mu hahahaah!

You continue to forget the efficiency of the british. I can pull off a lot of
things-and your huge shore batteries cant even hit me in the dark!
You also forget my personal fighting strategys..one of em: dont lock into
battle directly.

And blue coats are not? besides, think. they may be easy to spot, but i can
spread out, as i stated. try to smoke out a guy here, a guy there-with a large
force in a collum. you also seem to forget my little three-pounder freinds,
which can be moved with shore partys! :)

into service at Boneys will.
They will rebel, give them the chance.

long live port brick? pah! i can dash in and out of your villages, smashing
things at will. and your huge army, trying to attack in force, will be
helpless! Ha-ha!

Why do i even WANT a huge ship? if i hade a huge ship, id lose my fighting
prowess. you realise, big ships are stuck with battleing other big ships.
little ships are better.
