Discussion on heeling & fire: All points accepted from comments. But bix, you have to fire when your guns rise and you have multiple gun decks. Your shot tonnage will be maxed if all guns fire.

Signal flags: Good, but keep it simple. I dought the real navies would spell out many words but keep to single flags for "ship sighted", "enemy" "friendly" and so on. You want signals read correctly and would not blur the message with excess. Your officers are watching through telescopes from moving decks. The signals are in motion.
