From, the last Table may be derived the following one, in 

 which these ships are, with respect to the height of lower ports 

 above water and the quantity of displacement, referred to the 

 same standard of comparison, viz., the real tonnage of the 

 English ships of the same number of guns ; or, in other words, 

 the whole of the foreign vessels are supposed to be equipped 

 for foreign service, in time of war, as if they belonged to the 

 English navy ; ten guns more being mounted in the Swedish 

 three-decker, and four in the French and Swedish 80-gun 

 ships.
