Gun Sloop No. 2
A swift and agile gun sloop for coastal and port defence. In a calm, such sloops may attack becalmed vessels, which are helpless to return fire. The 18 pounder at its bow can punch holes in all but the largest vessels, and the small mortar at the stern gives some extra firepower for long range engagements.
Apart from the 10 oars, the gun sloop is a swift sailor. The lug sail and mast can be stowed when not in use.
