How many capital ships are there in Britain?

Take the naval battle of Trafalgar, the peak of that time, as an example.

The Royal Navy has 175 capital ships. At that time, the capital ships were 1, 2 or 3 warships.

-class warship

This warship is the flagship of the fleet, with three gun decks, 106 and 122 guns, with more than 875 crew members and a displacement of 2,500-3,500 tons. The representative ship was Admiral Nelson's flagship Victory in Trafalgar. Because the cost of each warship of this class was as high as 654.38+ 10,000 pounds, there were less than 654.38+02 active warships of the British Navy at that time.

Secondary warship

This class of warships is slightly smaller than the first class warships. There are three gun decks and 98 guns, with a capacity of about 750 people and a displacement of more than 2,000 tons. One of their shortcomings-the shortcomings of battleships-is that in stormy weather, the guns on the lower gun deck of the battleship can't be opened. * * * There are 46 ships.

Third-class warship

This class of warships is divided into several models, with two or three gun decks, 64, 74 and 80 guns, carrying about 490-720 people and a displacement of1.300-2,000 tons. This is the largest number of capital ships in the British navy. During the Battle of Trafalgar, there were 1 17 third-class warships.
