It's the Americans' week this week. Just be aware that I'm an unregenrate Yankophile (that means the USA is my favorite fleet); take that into account as I offer these reviews.

 

USS Lenox is one of those nondescript ships that made up 80% of the last few Pirates releases. She isn't visibly good at anything, nor is she horribly bad. You can crew her with a Captain and use her as a support fighter, or give her a crew like King George (boarding bonus) and use her for boarding, where her ability will let you steal an extra coin every time you ram. She really needs a Helmsman either way if you expect to catch anything. She won't do badly in either role, although boarding is probably better.

 

But why bother? For the cost of the Lenox and King George, you could get the Saratoga (RV). That schooner can do S+L without needing a Helmsman, and she has the boarding bonus built-in, plus an extra mast and an extra cargo space, both of which are wonderful things to have if you want to go a-boarding. It's just a sad fact that the ships that came out earlier, as a general rule, are better than the newer ships. The Lenox isn't a bad ship, but as I'll say so often, you can do better.

 

Goldship rating: 2.5 / 5

Gun Ship rating: 2.4 / 5

Boarding rating: 3.1 / 5

Value for points: 2.9 / 5
