I don't think so. I think, 30 more guns is more than "slightly." But I can't find another reference. I think the Reliant wasn't meant for heavy combat, but capturing French vessels, which would mean it couldn't be weighed down that much. But I know nothing about ships. - [[User:Strangerface|Strangerface]] 15:56, 29 September 2006 (PDT) | I don't think so. I think, 30 more guns is more than "slightly."
