The dimensional data listed here is the specification data and the acceptable design creep will be listed on each individual vessel. The  gundeck was  with a keel length of  for tonnage calculation.

The gun armament as established in 1703 would be twenty 6-pounder 19 hundredweight (cwt) guns mounted on wooden trucks on the upper deck (UD) with four 4-pounder 12 cwt guns on the quarterdeck (QD). The 4-pounders would be removed in 1714. Ships of the Gibraltar Group
