Cadet-Captain Mike Name: HMS London (England)
Card: CC #034 (Uncommon)
Points: 11
Masts: 4
Cargo: 4
Moves: S+S
Guns : 2S,2L,2L,2S
Hit %: 267 (S), 133 (L)
Ability: When touching a Pirate ship, this ship may load as much of that ship's treasure as she can carry.

If yesterday's ship, L'Aguila, was a good ship, HMS London is a great one. She's faster, her cannons are better, and she costs less. You lose a cargo space, but if you can live with her base move, you can skip the Helmsman and you'll break even on cargo.

Her ability probably won't see much action, but who cares? The London is a fighter, with as good a set of guns as you'll ever find on a four-master. Because she costs so little, you can probably afford to put an above-average fighting crew on her. One fun combo would be Hermione Gold (OE) for a move/shoot and blazing speed, Lt. Henry Ducie Chads for a SAT and a bonus against Pirates, Commodore Rhys Griffin Owen for a reroll that takes up no cargo spaces, and an Oarsman to be a meat shield in case a crew-killer ship tries to take out your valuable crewpersons.
You've still got two cargo free in case you get the drop on a Pirate gold ship, and you've got a very nasty fighter against any foe.

Add the HMS London to the short list of ships that are seriously underpriced for what you get. She follows in the Royal Navy's tradition of excellent fighting ships.

Goldship rating: 3.3 / 5
