Ok Royal Navy fans here are two English 74s. I've named them both for two Veterans of the Battle of the Nile.
The HMS Orion with it's Red (bark tan) sails. There is no historical reason for this other than I had a set of bark tan sails to use and it helps identify a ship. Her flags can be removed if I want to have a red-sailed pirate ship of the line (a strange creature that would be)
I have to wonder why Orion isn't one of the "Warships of Renown" that Warlord has released (I'm currently painting these) she took part in several battles (Glorious First of June, Groix, Cape St. Vincent, Nile and Trafalgar) and had three future admirals(Duckworth, Saumarez and Codrington) in command at different points. She even had Jack Aubrey as a 3rd Lieutenant.
