It was my day off today and I made the most of it by assembling and basing the ships for a Royal Navy Napoleonic and Revolutionary War inshore squadron. This consists of the following but I will add some more frigates later on:
Flagship '64' 3rd Rate - HMS Diadem
'38' 5th Rate Frigates- HMS Arethusa, HMS Phaeton
'32' 5th Rate Frigates - HMS Juno, HMS Castor
'20' 6th Rate 'Post Ship' (Sloop) - HMS Ariadne
'16' Unrated Sloop of War - HMS Stork
'14' Unrated Brig - HMS Speedy
'10' Unrated Cutter - HMS Sparrow
All of these were actual vessels in service c1800 but I'm also thinking of adding a couple of fictional frigates or sloops to add a narrative element to my scenarios. I'm going to pick up some more 38/40 gun frigates at Colours on Saturday to fill in the gaps, although I can see this project easily mushrooming into something more extensive if I don't keep it tight.
