The British Empires Battleship: The Ship of The Line - Naval Military History Animated

What is a ship of the line? This video is going to talk about the history of the ship of the line, the age of sail version of a battleship. Ships of the line were large and durable ships designed to fight side by side with the enemy, exchanging devastating broadsides. The development of the ship of the line goes back to the very beginning of naval warfare.


Ancient tri-marines would circle in a chaotic brawl more akin to a WW2 dogfight than a naval battle. The cannon revolutionized this and as battles became more orderly ships began to form lines of battle, just as musket-armed infantry did in this time. This orderly formation forced ships to fight the ship across from them. Over time ships became larger and better built in order to gain an advantage over their opponent in the line. Hence, the ship of the line was born, the largest and most powerful of the warships of the time.


Ships of the line were 'rated' based upon the cannons mounted in the main battery, with lower numbers mounting more cannons.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.

very interesting, I don't think there's enough coverage on this aspect of ship battles. Why do you stretch the text boxes at the end? It looks very amateur

Educational, informative, and very interesting.
But the animation and designs looked flat and simple.

5 because I like the educational approach.

I think you should aim for being a bit louder. If you need help with your voice tracks being louder, send me a pm and I'll do a few for free for you.

You know what? I didn't think I would come to Newgrounds today and actually learn something.

Very clear and concise with your voice over. I think NGs might actually need more of this.

Very informative, only gripe that the visuals is a bit outdated for mosts' taste..

Thanks for this.

It's one of my older videos, the newer ones look better.
