I had forgotten about an English gun list from January 1655
I had forgotten about a list of guns for six English ships in January 1655. This list is Appendix VII to Brian Lavery's book, The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War 1600-1815 (1987). For example, the 6th Rate Truelove (12 guns) carried the following armament:
8-sakers (5-1/4pdr)
2-minions (4pdr)
2-falcons (2-1/2pdr)
She carried 240 saker shot, 60 minion shot, and 60 falcon shot.
