Two-decker
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. A two-decker is a sail warship which carried her guns on two fully armed decks. Usually additional guns were carried on the upper works (forecastle and quarterdeck), but this was not a continuous battery, so were not counted.
Two-deckers ranged all the way from the small 40-gun Fifth rate up to 80- or even 90-gun ships, with the third-rate of seventy-four guns, or "seventy-four", being the archetype.
