Class 6 Heavy Frigate "Lightning"

Coppered hull Ship by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr

My most recent ship build is this copper hulled heavy frigate which I have dubbed the "Lightning". It's got 40 guns in total. It has 20 24-pounders on the bottom deck and 14 9-pounders on the top deck. There are 2 24-pounders and 4 9-pounders facing backward. It has a copper hull for speed and maneuverability as well as 3 square-rigged masts. Crew size would be around 15ish. It has a small cargo hold/powder mag and has a weapon storage to arm the crew in case of ship boarding.

Indeed, armed to teeth. I like that stern.

I don't want to meet this one in battle. Really well done, and surely a real Corrington design. Great work. :-)

I admired this one on flickr before you posted, it is a very nice design, great work!

I know you licensed her yourself, but will she be a Royal Navy ship in-character? Or will she remain a privately owned warship? Just curious

I wouldn't either, that's why I'm sailing it! LOL!

Thank you for the license help and I'm glad that you like it!

For the time being I'm not sure. I plan to sail it out of King's Harbour, so I'll wait until after I talk to the colonial governor! I think she'll probably stay private, but working of course working for the crown!
