    Default Question about Capturing Ships

    Hello all

    I am playing my campaign as the British and Lord Nelson's fleet just trashed the French. I was able to capture two 72 gun ships and the Admiral's 22 gun ship of the line. It registered these as captured in the battle summary window, but I cannot find them now on my campaign map.

    Did I do something wrong? Are they hidden in some port somewhere? Were they too damaged to continue on? I'd appreciate any help you can give with this - I was pretty proud of my prizes

    Thanks in advance, and sorry if this question seems incredibly simple/foolish, this is my first time with Napoleon.

    Thanks!

    Ok, would like to apologize for missing the rather important button at the bottom of the battle summary screen that allows me to add captured ships to my own fleet.... whoops

    Yes, if you don't add it to your fleet, the ships that you captured are automatically sold and net you some money.
