Pirate plundering requires certain skills. After determining the target ship, you can't blindly rush, all kinds of artillery and big guns spray indiscriminately, and the ship will be done.

That is the behavior of the navy when facing enemy warships. The purpose is to defeat the enemy, not to obtain resources from the enemy.

Capture the thief first, capture the king, if the king can't capture it, kill it!

What makes the crew even more terrifying is that these people are actually immortal!

Chen Feng's Dongting Lake was suspended in the air, and the speed of light wandered and quickly slashed out three swords, all of which slashed towards the enemy rushing towards him.

The first knife slashed away the tawny leather armor of a person, the second knife cut off the bones of the person behind the attack with a vicious force, and the third knife was at a speed that was almost indistinguishable by the naked eye. Cut off the two people horizontally.

Eight naval sailors shot together, and Chen Feng instantly caught threats from all directions. This was the function of the ability "Spider Sensing".

In an instant, Chen Feng's sword light became faster and faster, and there was no shadow of the sword at all. He only felt that the rustling sound of a wooden knife cutting through the air was like splashing water, coming over the sky.

The hunting wind swept across the entire Emperor.

The Imperial as a large warship can be classified as a second-level ship.

The Jackdaw, which uses pirate points to upgrade to the full level with 48 guns, is close to the specifications of a fourth-level ship.

The embarrassment of the Royal Navy in Europe is that even fourth-level ships in the Caribbean Sea are as rare as giant pandas. More often, the Royal Fleet stationed in Jamaica is just a few ships that have been decayed by the tropical climate. The sails and rigging, and the small ship that has been in disrepair and cannot go to sea with the hull pierced by the ship maggots.

So under the background of the peers, it is logical that the pirates turned the Caribbean Sea into their own territory.

After the first British-Dutch war, the main battleships of the British navy increased from 55 to 88 in a few years, surpassing other powers.

The tonnage of ships has continued to increase. For example, the Dunbar and London were built in 1656, weighing 1,047 tons and equipped with 64 guns; the Richard, built in 1658, weighed 1,108 tons and equipped with 70 guns.

The British government spent a lot of money on building the navy. In 1656, four-fifths of the country’s revenue was used for naval construction.

At this time, the British naval commander Black led his fleet to the Mediterranean to capture the pirate cities of Algiers, Tunisia, and Tripoli in North Africa, ensuring the smooth flow of maritime trade in the Levantine region of the Eastern Mediterranean.

From 1654 to 1655, another British navy commander William Penn led a fleet to the West Indies and occupied Jamaica, expanding trade with America and strengthening the British national power.

The navy generally divides warships into fifth-level by scale.

Among them, equipped with more than 100 artillery, with three or more artillery decks, generally warships with more than 900 crews are called first-level ships.

The more famous representatives are Nelson’s flagship Victory, Spain’s Holy Trinity, and France’s Marine-class battleship.

This type of warship is expensive to build, and only a few major powers can build several ships, and the loss of any one ship is unacceptable.

For example, the Marine Class only built 12 ships from 1790 to the end of the Napoleonic era. In the era when the number of battleships in the big powers was generally triple-digit, the output was small and poor. They were mainly used as a country's navy symbol and flagship of the large fleet.

Equipped with 90 artillery, it has three artillery decks. Generally, a warship with a crew of 700 to 850 is called a second-level ship.

The more famous ones are the Danish Christian VII and the Pavel. The output of this class of warships is not large, and the number of second-level ships equipped by major powers is also below three digits.

However, they are not as scarce as first-level ships, and they are mainly used as the flagships of large-power colonial fleets or squadrons, or the flagships of some non-sea power countries.

Equipped with 60 to 80 artillery, with two artillery decks, generally warships with a crew of 450 or more are called third-level ships.

Among them, the third-level ships are mainly 74 guns, third-level ships and 64 guns. Third-level ships are the most common. The more famous is the Agamemnon commanded by Nelson in the Battle of Toulon. The third-level ship with 64 guns also has 74 guns. The prototype of the third-level ship, the Bellona.

Because the construction process of the third-level ship is relatively simple, the speed, protection and firepower are relatively average, and it is generally used as the main equipment and backbone of the large and small combat fleets, so it is built in large numbers.

The number of third-level ships built by the Royal Navy was close to 300. During the Battle of Trafalgar, 117 of the 175 battleships owned by the Royal Navy were third-level ships.

It should be noted here that France is the only country that regards second-level ships as the main equipment of its fleet.

The third-level ship can no longer be called a battleship. Although the fourth-level ship has briefly entered the ranks of battleships in history, it was quickly driven out.

Equipped with 50 to 60 guns, has two artillery decks, and generally a warship with a crew of 350 to 450 is called a fourth-level ship.

This type of warship is a compromise between battleship and frigate, and its positioning is not clear, so the output is not large.

Occasionally, they are included in the battle line as a supplement to battleships. Fourth-level ships and lower-level battleships do not belong to the category of battleships.

Equipped with 30 to 40 cannons, with one to two artillery decks, generally warships with a crew of 250 to 400 are called fifth-level ships, and this class of warships are mainly heavy frigates.

The more famous is the USS Constitution, the spiritual symbol of the people of United States, and the Indefatigable USS, which was modified by the British with a third-class battleship.

Because it is light and flexible, the warehouse has a large capacity and good self-sustaining power, but the firepower is insufficient.

This class of warships is mainly used for ocean-going traffic breaking, reconnaissance and search, and cover guard missions.

Equipped with 24 to 30 cannons, with a deck of artillery, generally a warship with a crew of 180 to 250 is called a sixth-level ship.

This class of warships are generally frigates, light frigates or small frigates.

This class is as light and flexible as the fifth-level ship, and it does the same job as the fifth-level ship. It is occasionally responsible for towing capital ships that lose their mobility in battles. It is also easier to build, so it is also a mass-produced battleship class.

Historically, the output of fifth-level ships and sixth-level ships is huge, and it is difficult to verify. The total number in the 18th century is about twice the total number of 1st to 3rd. The Marvel in the movie The Sea of ​​Rage is a standard sixth. -level ship.

Since there are no large warships in the entire sea area, it is easy to think that the largest ship that the pirates can grab will not be of much scale.

"Blackbeard" Edward Titch's flagship, the frightening "Queen Anne's Revenge" was a French slave ship named "Concorde" before being captured by pirates on November 17, 1717, equipped with 22 doors Cannons and 150 crew members, and there is room for 18 cannons.

If it is fully replenished, it will have the strength to compete with the fifth-level ship of the Royal Navy.

While the "Queen Anne's Revenge" was rampant, the crew of the Royal Navy's "Seaford", the only one that could fight a battle, were ill and unable to fight.

But even so, in order to avoid unnecessary risks, when seeing the Seaford from a distance, the pirates on the Queen Anne’s Revenge made a wise decision——

Turn around and run!
