the ship sucks - it has no sails.
Nor gunports. What would Jack Aubrey say?
I miss the romantic imagery of the Age of Sail as well, but I do believe that Admiral Lord Nelson would be quite proud, knowing that Great Britain will be so very well protected by such a fine ship and a fine Navy. And my guess is that the Royal Navy's sailors don't need to tap their biscuits on the table to knock the weevils out anymore :-)
