Technically, we still have the death penalty for two offences:
High treason ( against the person of the sovereign and their heirs) and arson in HM Dockyards

>>34443099
questions remains, would accept the lash in exchange of rum and booty

>>34442511
No one captures enemy ships anymore so prize money is a dream.

>>34444196
Yes, that is because there is no more prize money payed. If there was, the RN would haul in one Iranian super tanker per week.

>>34444214
Privateers would do the job better.

technically abolished, but not practically abolished, it can only be done in times of war or terrorism.

HM dockyards now includes armouries, armament factories, MOD property (including housing owned by the MOD) and other crown land.

Technically there is a third which would be desertion, defection, War crimes and Mutiny.

To add, this encompasses military or martial law, as per Queens regulations and court martial, which is different from civil law.

If you get caught committing crimes on MOD property then they are well within their rights to try you under treason in a court martial

You would not be a captain, at best you may become a skilled tradesman but even then you sleep with the lice and eat weevil biscuits.

I'm pretty sure I'd try to get a officers career. Have cozy cabin all for myself and make tender love to the cute ship boy.

>>34444700
All officers except the captain shared.

>>34444702
