  1. 40:32 I think we have to point out that there was no great threat perceived or good reputation. In fact once the 6 friagtes started to be captured they were considered outdated designs, lots of rotten and defective wood and were suprsingly slow, they said stringly constructed as the only positive but nothing about being amazingly armoured etc. Unlike the French 24lbers ships captured that were quickly studied and their designs used to build British ships, which I think really shows how ridiculously overblown the hype around the 6 frigates is.

  2. 43:30 I believe Guierre might have under charged guns or had dodgy powder as is the only ship to have it's shot bounce off of the 6 frigates.
