Characteristics
The Bellona rate is not a fast ship, the Pavel is faster however she is more maneuverable than a Pavel and she does not require as much crew. Compared to a Constitution however she is slower, and not as maneuverable however she has a lot more guns. Bellona is also practically the same as the 3rd rate with the exception of being able to mount 32pd on the bottom gun deck, if you mount 32pd on bottom gun deck the Bellona is also a tiny bit slower.
How to get Crafting recipe
