U.S. Navy Fleet (1770 - 1830)

In Black Seas, the US Navy is characterised by a focus on quality over quantity. Unable to field large or extra-large ships under its national special rules, it compensates with heavily reinforced frigates. American vessels benefit from discounted access to both the “Over Gunned” and “Sturdy” upgrades, allowing them to combine durability with strong offensive capability. This creates ships that can both withstand punishment and deliver substantial firepower in return.
