The next inferior class of ships of war, being those carrying 70 guns only,became entirely exploded, and, consequently, formed no part of the new ar-rangement. Ships of 64 guns, which were then considered as. of the lowestforce which it was prudeut to admit into, a line of battle, were consequently en-larged in their dimensions. Of the former class, the Yarmouth, only continuedin existence till the conclusion of the eighteenth century; and of the latter, theSaint Alban’s and Asia.
