British navy Captain Will Laurence of the HMS Reliant stands on the deck of the French vessel the Amitie in shock; he cannot understand why the veteran captain chose to fight when his crew was undermanned and ill and his ship likely to lose even if they were hale.
On the Amitie is a Chinese dragon egg; everyone knows that China has the most powerful dragon fighters in the world.

 Talk:HMS Reliant - TemeraireWiki
Is the Reliant a ship of the line?
On the first page of HMD, the 36 gun Amitie is referred to as being "slightly outgunned" by the Reliant (a third-rate ship of the line would have at least 64 guns).
