9.護衛(wèi)艦

護衛(wèi)艦是大型強力的多用途戰(zhàn)艦。在激烈的海戰(zhàn)中，他們可以威懾除戰(zhàn)列艦外的任何敵軍船只。護衛(wèi)艦的高航速使它成為護衛(wèi)快速商隊的首選。無論是單獨或是混編，他的高航速都使得他能出色的完成執(zhí)行巡邏任務。護衛(wèi)艦也經(jīng)常被用來清剿海盜和封鎖敵軍高口。

Frigates were large and powerful multipurpose warships. In heated battles they could stand their own against any enemy ship, with the exception of Ship of the Lines. The Frigate's high speed made them the preferred ships for escorting faster merchant vessels. Their speed also made them ideal for missions involving patrolling, either solo or in pairs. Frigates were also used to hunt pirates and blockade enemy ports.

10.輕型戰(zhàn)列艦

輕型戰(zhàn)列艦被設計作為一線作戰(zhàn)船只。他們可以在駛過敵艦的過程中接連不斷的開火。輕型戰(zhàn)列艦在兩層甲板上有大約50門中型加農(nóng)炮。他們并不是快速輕巧的船只，如果敵艦決定脫離海戰(zhàn)，輕型戰(zhàn)列艦很難在第一時間追上。輕型戰(zhàn)列艦可以運送大量的陸戰(zhàn)隊員，同時在攻擊敵軍港口的時候也表現(xiàn)出色。

Ship-of-the-line was designed to be used in line formation. This way they could sail past the enemy and fire a broadside after broadside in rapid succession. Light ship-of-the-line has around fifty heavy cannons on two decks. They are not agile or fast ships. If the enemy decides to make a run for it, ship-of-the-line would have hard time to catch up. Being able to transport large number of marines, ships-of-the-line are also excellent when attacking enemy ports.

11.重型戰(zhàn)列艦

重型戰(zhàn)列艦是巨艦時代的精粹之作。盡管他們航速緩慢行動遲緩，重型戰(zhàn)列艦是公海上最具威力的船只。在公司的艦隊中，他們經(jīng)常位列前兩位。盡管在15世紀重型戰(zhàn)列艦的雛形已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)，但是直到17至19世紀，他才在發(fā)生在全世界的海戰(zhàn)中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。重型戰(zhàn)列艦有超過100門火炮分布在3層甲板上，并且操縱他的船員超過1000人。海戰(zhàn)中他們經(jīng)常排成一列用側舷的炮火給以敵人毀滅性的打擊。

Ship of the Lines were the quintessential battleship of the era. Though they were slow and sluggish to manoeuvre, Heavy Ship of the Lines were the most powerful sailing vessels on the high seas. They were often ranked 1st or 2nd rate in a company's fleet. Though the first models were already built during the 15th century, this type of warship had an important role in naval battles all over the World spanning the 17th to 19th century. Ship of the Lines often had over one hundred cannons spread across three decks and a crew of more than one thousand men. Fighting in formation, with a long line of ships sailing one behind the other, they bombarded their enemies with devastating broadside attacks.
