I fully agree with Caseshot on the convenience of using real names for the ships. While I'd like Salvo to include historical scenarios, I know that non-historical ones may prove equally enjoyable and even more challenging -but I would feel disappointed if forced to play with fleets made up of ships which never existed... or which are wrongly depicted on the screen, as pointed out by 'old Anorak'.
Andrew, you may find a complete list of Spanish ships of the line 1730-1830 (plus interesting details about many of them) at

I've noticed some mistakes in the Spanish names depicted on the screenshots, so I am entirely at your disposal to revise the "Spanish portion" of your game, and to help in your research of the Spanish navy.
As an old Mac user, I want to thank you very much for your extra effort in releasing Salvo for the Mac. Wonderful news!
