Depends on whether or not you have agility skills - of which I have
However, I agree. A Ship of the Line, being the ship with very strong hull panels, will survive for a long time. Your crew will have lots of time to deal damage. The downside is its speed and large hull, making it difficult to be able to dodge oncoming enemy fire. If you can work around it, though, the Ship of the Line is definitely the best choice for Fleets - with the War Sloop being in second (first, in my opinion).
