The concept was to have one tier of ordnance flush on the upper deck for use in all weathers on a freeboard of at least seven feet.

The ordnance would be arranged with a minimum of eleven gun ports on the upper deck.

Nineteen more 32-gun vessels to these specifications were ordered in from 1694 to 1698 with thirteen to be built by contract and nine in dockyard.

The breadth would be 28 feet 0 inches (8.5 metres) with a depth of hold of 10 ft 6 in (3.2 m).

For Scarborough, Faversham, Looe(ii) and Bridgewater would be rerated as 36-gun vessels with an increase in the 9-pounders to eight guns.
