| Small Trading | 50 | 4 | 2 | 7-8 | 6 | 100/60 |
| Small Warship | 65 | 4 | 2 | 7-8 | 8 | 110/66 |
"Attack Interval" is the interval between shots, in seconds. Ship speeds are indexed relative to an empty small trading ship (100). * The 10 cannon value for pirate ships is attributed to Falke, and should be regarded as a maximum.
