Introduction:

the dansih fleet around 1700th-1800th was made by small bombard ships to big ship of lines called Man-O-War.

the bombard ships is a rowing boat there sailed to the enemy ships and made a whole in the hull. there placed a bomb and sailed away.

we also haved rocket ships that fired rocket that exploed over the ships and worked a a grape shot from the heaven.

next part is the the brig and sloops that were scout ships because they are fast and wery well armoured.

This was the dansih command ship from 1673 to 1710 its a heavy armed ship. it was the main ship and the biggets line-of-ship in the dansih fleet. and with 163 guns its a mighty ship
this ship is 1 of my favorite ships. because that ship fought in the battle of the bay of K�ge under the command of Ivar Huitfeldts on the 4th of October 1710 where the ship caught fire and sank as the powder magazine exploded. it took the half of the enemy fleet with it.
and that turned the battle and we won the battle. i live i 'k�ge' and thats why i love this ship.
