[h=2]From today's featured article[/h]
HMS Levant was a sixth-rate 28-gun frigate of the Coventry class, launched in 1758. Principally a hunter of privateers, she was also designed to be a match for small French frigates, but with a broader hull and sturdier build at the expense of some speed and manoeuvrability. Assigned to the Jamaica station in 1759, Levant defeated nine French vessels in three years at sea and was part of the British expedition against Martinique in 1762. The frigate was decommissioned in 1763, returned to service in 1766 for patrol duties in the Caribbean, decommissioned for a second time in 1770, and reinstated at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. Sent to the Mediterranean and based at Gibraltar, Levant captured or sank a total of fourteen enemy craft over the next three years, including an 18-gun American privateer. The ageing frigate was removed from Navy service in 1779 and broken up at Deptford Dockyard in 1780, having secured a total of 31 victories during 21 years at sea. (Full article...)

I was kind of doing the 
was a privateers a pirate. So I clicked on the word and in the section of:[h=2]Legal framework and relation to piracy[/h]
The commission was the proof the privateer was not a pirate. It usually limited activity to one particular ship, and specified officers, for a specified period of time. Typically, the owners or captain would be required to post a performance bond. The commission also dictated the expected nationality of potential prize ships under the terms of the war. At sea, the privateer captain was obliged to produce the commission to a potential prize ship's captain as evidence of the legitimacy of their prize claim. If the nationality of a prize was not the enemy of the commissioning sovereign, the privateer could not claim the ship as a prize. Doing so would be an act of piracy.

Jim,
So if I read your quote properly a privateer was pretty much a mercenary authorized by the country of origin.

Now all you thirsty rum drinkers there's a few tools of the trade needed before you head down to the rum door.
Just saying 2 keys is better than one.
& you need the tap for the keg.

That is something I hadn't eaten in 45 yrs. I just couldn't stomach them ever.
Then at our friends special birthday I had an organic sausage. It was ok, but I don't think I will be running down to the butchers.
It's the nitrates that do me in, the last Weiner I had was in 1985.

Jim,
You can cheat and make some patties with sausage style seasonings without chemical junk.

I do ok with certain spices and others just keep giving back. I like peppers, but it took 3 months after consuming a red pepper sauce for the stomach to act have normal again. So I miss out on many fine dishes now.
