CarribeanThunder is a pirate wannabe
The Navy Panthers ( Which back then were called Light Frigates, or something ) used to deal quite a bit of damage compared to what they do now. Plus, they took a slight bit longer to sink...

The forts used to deal a lot of damage. The last fort was the pain - by the time you reached it, you probably had low health. Because of this, they would definitely deal more damage. Even a good cannoneering crew couldn't destroy these THAT fast.

The Goliath, for those who didn't know, wasn't always a Ship Of The Line. It was a massive, oversized Navy War Frigate. It's sails seemed pretty small for how large the hull was, but anyway...
For a while, the Goliath kept it's name proper - it took a while to sink. Damage dealt to it was like damage dealt to a Navy/EITC Elite/Tyrant, only it didn't have as much health. It dealt pretty decent damage, too.
Eventually, it came to the point where Disney weakened it by quite a bit, while also weakening the forts. They probably wanted to make this a "slight" bit easier....
A while after that came the Goliath's redesign. This would have been better WHEN the Goliath was THE Goliath...
