The Corvette is one of the large ships in Skull and Bones.
General[]
The Corvette is one of the large ships that players can't currently acquire. It is primarily used by the Compagnie Royale as their heavy hitters. The ship of John Scurlock's nemesis, Caradec, is a corvette named Le Spectre.
History[]
During the Age of Sail, corvettes were one of many types of warships smaller than a frigate and with a single deck of guns. They were very closely related to sloops-of-war. The role of the corvette consisted mostly of coastal patrol, fighting minor wars, supporting large fleets, or participating in show-the-flag missions.
The first reference to a corvette was with the French Navy in the 1670s, which may be where the term originated. The French Navy's corvettes grew over the decades and by the 1780s they were ships of 20 guns or so, approximately equivalent to the British Navy's post ships.
