		HMS Cyane was a small frigate by American standards, primarily mounting 32 pound carronades.
		The British penchant for taking it until a full broadside was bearing entirely upon their prey was upset as each continuing shot in turn from USS Constitution was somewhat further advanced in the targerted ship as they drew forward on them - before a full broadside shot could be brought to bear.
		Several of USS Constitutions mounts forward were able to get off 2 volleys before what remained of the British gun crews were ordered to fire.
