Fleets of all navies kept gunboats on hand. They could be useful in shallower waters, as with only a single mounted cannon, they were able to manoeuvre relatively easily where a large ship could not. If this cannon was a 32-pounder it could still prove dangerous to larger vessels. For instance, a [[Frigate-class]] could easily destroy a single gunboat with a single broadside hit. But if deployed in large numbers, the [[Frigate-class]] would struggle to deal with every gunboat before sustaining heavy damage itself. The extremely cheap cost and relative time is taken to build these gunboats could prove a tremendous advantage. | Fleets of all navies kept gunboats on hand.
