This is too tricky for me. Its exact nature is hidden behind a wall of lies, argument, and national sentiment.

Since all Captains tweaked their armament regularly, I guess anything other than a Razee or official re-rating has to be ignored to an extent - so I put it down as the 24 Gun Corvette it was supposed to be.

I used this article for some of the information:

http://74.125.43.102/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://www.histoire-genealogie.com/spip.php%3Farticle1351&usg=ALkJrhg2tZA5xxkT3fahuMYSpGiL39syng

It had an impressive looking source list, but no specific sourcing to the information it contains. So some of the info here is provisional and can be finished off by someone more learned than myself. :p
