Your right, the Navy Ships have a lot of cannons. Thats exactly what gets you killed. Most pirates would have had ships probably similar to sloops... maaaaybe a Frigate, but unlikely. A real pirate would not have gone near Navy Ships. Period.

Well Davy I'n history pirates sailed in sloops with one gun deck but they had a good deal of ppl and good deal of guns and they took over other ships of higher value and strength and sailed away while they killed or threw them off the side of the ship.
