So you are able to build 20 ships in a stack while the rest of us have always had 10?

I have had 20 ships in a stack from the beginning. It is simply your hardware that is determines the amount of ships you can have.

Yep, I've been able to have a 20-strong stack from day one.

I believe this calls for:

I think that is a unit size setting, on Huge you can have 20 ship fleets but on lower sizes you only get 10.

lol sorry folks, I should have said, I have army unit size set to huge, I didn't realise it increased naval fleet capacity! I figured land units just got bigger, average infantry size is 160 on huge.
It really freaked me out though! I haven't even dared go near spain since, I'm trying desperately to get steam power and everything I need for the steam powered dry dock, the irony is, the AI could have RUINED me I mean really ruined me, end of campaign ruin me, by blockading my commercial port in holland with that fleet (14K cash comes to me through that port, if that stopped, I'd be bankrupt) it is refreshing for once that I don't have the ultimate fleet and it means I finally get to fight the spanish armada! (200 or whatever it was years later but y'know!) it will be an interesting fight.

You should be able to take down that fleet with about 5 3rd rates, you don't really need anything bigger. Just concentrate on taking down the rigging and you can run circles around them and pick them off one by one, galleons aren't quite the force they used to be.

the steam drydock aint that great. and steamships are easily beaten by anything else, due to extremely low health. it has great maneuvarability and speed, and can sail without the wind, but it still sucks unless over-spammed.
