Four decker
[edit]The four-decker designation is incorrect. The Pennsylvania would be referred to as three-decker ship-of-the-line with a flush spar-deck. The flush spar-deck, which is the top deck, is not covered over rather like the Constitution-class frigates that inspired the flush spar-deck. So the Pennsylvania only has three gun-decks.

Additional resources
[edit]For anyone interested, there are a number of photos and other images readily available by a google search. There are images of the ship at Norfolk before the Civil War, burning when the evacuating Union fired the ship, and salvage operations. Kablammo (talk) 18:23, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
