Jack looks at the fireships, he does some quick calculations. He looks to his lieutenant.
Those ships have been holed quite severely, if it was only a minor blow, they would be fixing them, they're visibly sinking. Now, they're not super close, still a good way off. If we can all get our guns to bear, we can destroy them. Since there is no one firing back currently, dismasting them or sinking them should be easy. Signal all ships that can too fire as they bear, and we'll destroy these fireships.
The ships that can fire on enemy ships coming forward, raking them from stem to stern, dismasting them easily. Some of the ships sink, the others just sit there burning. A stray 32 pound cannonball comes hurtling over the flag galleon's quarterdeck, killing an officer that is standing there, cutting him in half and splattering everything in blood and guts. Meanwhile a massive British fleet sits around the Island of valorim, comprising of a good 60 vessels, including four sotls, one first rate, one second rate, and two third rates.
