    Constitution vs. Java is a ready-made... Java started life as Pallas-class Renommee, an evolved version of the Wave 2 Hebe sculpt, so all you need is the HMS Sibylle release when it comes out.

    And, of course, Old Ironsides herself.

    I can't find a class for Guerriere. Do you know if she was a Hebe descendant?

    OOPS... disregard what previously filled this space. Guerriere appears to have been a one-off, even Boudriot barely acknowledges her existence in his History of the French Frigate 1650-1850.
