    Monk, I think you'll be glad to know that there's a happy ending to all of this.

    I'm Spain, fighting a naval battle with Morocco to control the Strait of Gibraltar in order to secure my invasion on Africa. It's a four-on-four, with three galleys and one 5th rate belonging to the bad guys. I have a Galleon, a brig, and two sloops.

    Anyway, about midway through the battle, the one Moroccan 5th rate comes alongside one of my sloops and unleashes a broadside. It hits my sloop's powder magazine and blows it sky high... only to light the 5th rate on fire and have it surrender a couple of seconds afterward. I immediately thought of you and alt-tabbed out of the battle to post this.
