History

Strategy and Use

Tactics

Having extremely poor acceleration and turning statistics, the 'Prince' First rate is best used in a line battle. The only truly useable tactic for a ship of this size is simply sailing parallel to it's opponent and slugging it out.

However, in a larger group of ships, much more creative strategies arise. If faster ships of a friendly battle group can herd an enemy ship under the guns of this ship, the results will almost surely be catastrophic for said enemy, even more so if the 'Prince' is capable of getting in a raking broadside.
