Slick way to add american cannons

[Sturm561]

When you take a ship as a trophy take ownership, then un-mount the cannons from the trophy ship (save upgrade)...the cannons are now in the armory and you can then sell the ship for money and you still keep the un-mounted cannons.  Where the is a will there is a way to get cannons!  LOL!

You have to have the points to keep the ship in the first place.   This is pretty much what most of us do any way to make money.  As long as you have enough reputation points to keep them in this means.
