200 guns may be all well and good, but your far better off with a gigantic fleet of smaller ships. It's far less costly and much easier to maintain and order into combat. The thing is, when a small ship is destroyed, no big deal right? Just build a new one easy as pie and it's not as much damage to a fleet's coordination. When you lose something like this, you can never truly replace it. It makes a huge gap in a fleet, and kills morale.
