Now what about the war-galleys? I
propose to fix the total number at three hundred, divided into twenty squadrons
of fifteen ships each, assigning to each squadron five of the first
hundred,1 five of the second, and five of the third; and next to
allot a squadron of fifteen to each board, and the board must assign three
vessels to each of its own groups.
1 Ships of the first rate, apparently.
