Navies in RoP

[Nikel]

From the explanation of the map limits I understand that the only sea available to play with is the baltic


Perhaps this book is useful for somebody, as it covers the period

Anderson, R.C. Naval wars in the Baltic during the sailing-ship epoch, 1522-1850 (1910)

I didn't remember that there has been a prussian fleet in that time. Only as I have read about the Brandenburgian colonies in Africa in another forum I have looked for some infos about a navy of the Prussian in that time.

Here is described a naval action

Around 1700 they had some frigates, but as I know the grandfather of Frederick gave up the colonies and the fleet because he had no ambitions and due to the fact he needed more money for his expensive royal court.
I do not know if the Prussians had more than these galiots they had used against the Swedes. Nikel, do you know a better source for this than wikipedia ??
