                        The British often did copy good foreign designs, if they had one to use as a guideline.  The Royal Navy had this nasty habit of winning most of it's battles and tended to get lots of free ships that way!

                        Greetings,

                        While examining the hull plans of 120 gun SoL HMS Caledonia and the French Sané designed 120 (a.k.a Commerce de Marseilles class), I remarked that their lines are in a such degree of similarity that it can't be just a coincidence. May the british had copied the lines of the french ship ?

                        All the best

                        Don't surrender the ship !
