Best Answer

The huge three deck large cannon warships were powerful but they were also slow due to their size and weight. Naval architects soon began to compliment their navy's large warships with smaller and faster ones. These were less heavy and less expensive to build. They had much smaller cannons and fewer of them then the large three deck heavy cannon warships. These smaller and faster ships were able to capture large cargo vessels and even maneuver close enough to them to board them and take over the enemy vessel.
