东印度公司——舰船介绍

　　护卫舰是大型强力的多用途战舰。在激烈的海战中，他们可以威慑除战列舰外的任何敌军船只。护卫舰的高航速使它成为护卫快速商队的首选。无论是单独或是混编，他的高航速都使得他能出色的完成执行巡逻任务。护卫舰也经常被用来清剿海盗和封锁敌军高口。

　　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.轻型战列舰

　　轻型战列舰被设计作为一线作战船只。他们可以在驶过敌舰的过程中接连不断的开火。轻型战列舰在两层甲板上有大约50门中型加农炮。他们并不是快速轻巧的船只，如果敌舰决定脱离海战，轻型战列舰很难在第一时间追上。轻型战列舰可以运送大量的陆战队员，同时在攻击敌军港口的时候也表现出色。

　　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.
