Hello forum,
I just wanted to check if I am right in thinking that the term 'en flûte' (in this context: 'les bâtiments de guerre armé en flûte') refers to the positioning of artillery on warships (the extract is from a letter from Napoleon about naval preparations), in an arrowhead layout spreading out from the bow back down the ship? Many thanks for your help.
