Naval Action Redoutable

Naval Action Redoutable adds the Redoutable, a premium consumable ship, to Naval Action. Designed by Sane and built in Brest in 1792, it was a Duquesne variant of the Temeraire 3rd-rate ship-of-the-line design. It was formerly called Le Suffren.

The Battle of Trafalgar

Under Captain Lucas, Redoutable fought HMS Victory, HMS Temeraire and HMS Tonnant at Trafalgar. It engaged Victory at close range and inflicted the mortal wound that killed Admiral Horatio Nelson. Redoutable nearly boarded Victory before Temeraire intervened, then fought all three British ships in a gun battle. After being engaged by them, the ship was subdued with only 99 of its 690 crew still fit. Napoleon presented Captain Lucas with the Legion of Honour for his conduct.

Sailing Redoutable

You can request the ship from the admiralty once a day, provided you do not already have the same vessel in your docks. When ordering it, you can choose its frame and planking wood type. The request is completed instantly, and the ship cannot be captured by other players or traded. You need an appropriate rank to sail it fully crewed.

The ship appears in your redeemable list after you dock at a port. It lets you skip hauling resources and crafting; you need to buy guns, repairs and other consumables for combat use. For hauling, you can sail without those supplies.
