Hmmm ... maybe, but the old "Ships of the Line" had real guns on multiple decks. See HMS Victory:
She had (has?) real guns behind all those ports.

Beautiful ship, the HMS Victory. And she had better have real cannon behind all those gun ports. Because the way the British navy is cutting back, that old ship might be called back into active service.

Ships of the Line had guns on two or three decks. However, frigates and ship sloops had guns on only one deck, and what was called the gun deck had no guns mounted.
