    Default Warships data

    I am making a list of the of the sail only frigates, sloops and side wheels steamers that could be possibly represented using retextured versions of the game models, if that is deemed worthwhile. While the state of the art of naval warfare in the 1860s had moved past these types a sizable number saw active service. Data is provided such as I can find.
