100 gun ship-of-the-line Rayo(Langton 1/1200)

100 gun ship-of-the-line Rayo of this Spain navy was launched in the royal shipyard located in Havana in 1749.
Although built at the beginning in the name of 80 gun ship of the line and "San Pedro", it was behind renamed by the "Rayo".The reason is not known.

As a Spain warship which participated in the naval battle of Trafalgar, it is a senior ship, and a forecastle and the quarter deck are connected, a gun deck is prepared, and it will be again born to 100 gun warships in 1803 prior to a naval battle.
The modification which adds this gun deck seems to be the Spain navy peculiar technology (?) performed also to a Santisima Trinidad (120->136).
However, balance was lost for the business of a Santisima Trinidad and the ship leg and the problem of becoming late were in it.
Like a case Rayo, there is also a merit that it can build below in the half (43.5%) as compared with the construction expense of the usual Spain 112 gun ship of the line (three-decker).
However, when built in Havana, it is said by a slave being used that labor wages were cheap.
By the naval battle of Trafalgar, it was on the register as a ship of the line of the Spain navy 56 years.
It is, even if it says since it was built by the mahogany (about 4300) known for high-class lumber as a long-lived reason of this ship.
Moreover, it is also called greatest reason that there was also nothing of a service period that is comparatively got injured since it hardly participated in a battle.

18-pound gun x2, the 8-pound gun x12, and an 18-pound carronade gun x6 were added by the modification on 100 gun warships from 80 gun in 1803.
As a result, it became 100 gun warships of a 36-pound gun x 32 and 18-pound gun x 32 and 8-pound gun x 32 and 18-pound carronade gun x6.
By this modification, firing-guns-broadside capability increases the staff from 890 pounds to 1010 pounds, and a boarding staff increases the staff from 670 persons to 830 persons.
Those days, the ship equipped with the gun which crosses 80 gates on a two-layer deck was not built even in the British navy till 1813.
Incidentally the firing-guns-broadside capability of a HMS Victory 1148 pounds (at the time of the battle of Trafalgar),
It was 904 pounds for the 98 gun ship-of-the-line HMS prince of the British warship equipped with the equivalent gun of a Rayo and an equivalent class.
Moreover, it may also be able to be called modification of foresight when it considers that they were 1030 (or 1048) pounds, if it is a 98 gun ship-of-the-line HMS Dreadnought.
It may be able to be said that the firing-guns-broadside capability in the Santisima Trinidad of 136 gate warships was change for the worse as it was said well that it considers that 112 gate warship Santana of this Spain warship was 1508 pounds by 1530 pounds (at the time of the battle of Trafalgar).

Since the Rayo which finished modification construction in 1803 has not participated in the strategy in West Indies before the naval battle of Trafalgar, either, it has not participated in the naval battle (battle of Cape Finisterre) in the Cape Finisterre offing on July 22, 1805, either.
(France x16 ships + Spain x6 ships vs British x15 ships).
Furthermore, also when it sorties from Cadiz towards the naval battle of Trafalgar, it becomes a ship of the last which was not blessed with a good wind but from which it departed.
Since the combined fleet changed its course 180 degrees when the naval battle started, a Rayo is seen at a naval battle, as located in the head group, but since the ship leg was late, it is located in a battleline's outside.
Although her squadron divided when Nelson divided the battleline of the combined fleet and devised the attack moved forward, became in the end of a battle, and once rushed into the battle area again and Britannia etc. and a gun game were held, the posture was never, and since it did not run away, it was captured after all.
Although the Rayo only took out the damage of four persons killed in war and 14 injured persons with the naval battle of Trafalgar, by the postwar storm, fire was released to it by the captured British Navy, and it was abandoned.

Although this ship serves as the British schooner Pickle, since the 12-pound carronade gun of eight gates was carried at the time of the outbreak of war of Trafalgar, it seemed to be 8 gun warships.

Although this model added the 6-pound gun of two gun to the bow portion, it is needed.
When a drawing is seen, it actually seems to be the ship of 10 gun loading.

Brig (Langton 1/1200)

Two Brigs belonging to which participated in the battle of Trafalgar the France fleet were manufactured.

At the battle of Trafalgar, it pulled up in the Cadiz harbor with the start of the naval battle.
An Argus is the warship too dispatched to Toulon in 1805 for the British invasion operations, and at the battle of Trafalgar, like other small warships, if a naval battle starts, it is pulled up in the Cadiz harbor.
These ships have not participated in a battle at the  battle of Trafalgar.

First of all, it was because the coal used as fuel could not load that having carried out the rigging of the steamship prepared for failure of the organization at the time of appearing in open sea navigation, and a steamship of those days so much but there was no cruise capability for about 20 days at the maximum.
Since it became unnecessary sailing since the neighborhood and the military operation period of a sortie base are also short, furthermore it became a target, these ships thrown into the Civil War were removed.
