The fluff text says HMS Dover is England's standard ship. If so, that's a pretty high standard. The Dover is in good shape to fight, collect gold, ram and board, or any combination of the three, for a very fair price.

I have to compare her to a similar ship, the Darkhawk II, which is usually considered one of the best ships in the game. Both have the same point cost and masts, and similar cannons (the Darkhawk has 2S instead of 3S). The Pirate ship also has a much bigger cargo hold, while the Englishman is a bit faster and doesn't slow down when she's full. I'd go so far as to say this is the English Darkhawk, high praise indeed.

The Dover ought to have a Captain, or one of England's combination captain/world-haters like Hermione Gold. A Helmsman could be worthwhile if you're going to fight and gather gold on the same cruise; I'd leave him off if your sole goal is fighting. With just the Captain, HMS Dover's sail-away cost is only 13 points, very reasonable indeed for a ship that can execute any mission. Include her in your fleet if you can.

Gold ship rating: 3.7 / 5
Gunship rating: 3.4 / 5
Boarding ship rating: 3.1 / 5
Overall value: 4.2 / 5
