Description

HMS Intervention is Cpt. John Boruta's ship in the~CdreJohnPaulJones's, ~GeneralVyse's and the rest of "Pratts-o-Carribean" (or so...) crew's Dream Squadron. ([link])

Intervention is a fifth-rate, one gun deck frigate, carrying 36 18-pounder guns. Further technical information will be added after I study more about the Age of Sail. ^^;

About 3-4 hours, HB and 2B mechanical pencils, eraser, some drafts found on wikipedia and a lot of frustration.

SORRY FOR THE MASTS BEING TOO SHORT (again... ^^;)

I hope you like, sea dogs! Ahoy! :ahoy:
Tom :D

EDIT: I added a texture. Looks better.

Beautiful work. A naval tidbit: for most ships in the Royal Navy, the number of guns specified in a ship's rating (ex. "36-gun frigate") didn't actually correspond to the number of guns they carried, but were based more on the theoretical number of guns. Most "36-gun" frigates actually only carried about 28 long guns on the gun deck (the main battery, either 12- or 18-pounders), and about a dozen or 16 carronades on the quarterdeck and forecastle (carronades weren't usually even counted in the number of guns). Even ships of the line rarely carried more than 28 guns on a single deck. 18 pairs of guns would have made for an usually long ship.
