War Sloop Downgrade from frigate?

[myrandr]

Picked up a War Sloop a couple nights ago, and though a great ship was not nearly as "fast" as I expected. I have been fighting with Galleon and Frigate and had not used a Sloop since the light sloop I first had. Decent ship sinking capabilities, plundered nicely off Kingshead more than once just not as affective as a "hit & move" ship as I was expecting. Please note, ghost ships are still MUCH faster than you regardless of what you are sailing.

Ghost ships arn't faster than me, and I can sink anything in the game in a regular sloop, the war sloop just has more cargo and more broadside for me to solo with.
