My only concern with the using of "Ship of the Line" is that it gives Disney nowhere to go if they want to put out an even bigger ship in the future. Once you have "Ship of the Line" how can you go up? Heavy frigate or Indiaman would probably be better or maybe something like cruiser. which is kind of what you said, I think. But that can be worked around when and if need be.

I was probably a little over hyped over the subject,you actually have some of the topic's best points,especially where Disney is aiming things,I didn't quite mean ye as much perhaps for being uncivil,my apologies Dan.
Eliza now has an excellent post about mutiple ship-of-the-line types,a lot of it I wasn't aware of,however it would likely best to rate them in the classic first ,second ,third and fourth gun count classes rather than Eliza's idea of different kinds of SotLs having the same title.A bit like light,standard,and war ships.(Perhaps not though ,we shall see how this goes,I don't believe Disney will make another ship of the line hull in the foreseeable future.Perhaps they will vary sizes and gun counts of the current SotL hull when they decide to make more from it.)But I would like to see ships sizes and appearences difer in the upcoming time.
