Once again, in the books the similar story line involved an American privateer, but that ship’s non-regular navy statuswas an integral plot point for subsequent story lines.

I’d forgotten. When they catch up with them in the novel they have already been sunk, have they not?

Yes, a different route to get to the “escaping captain” situation.
