HMS Queen off Malta Hospital, c. 1859-64
HMS Queen was the last purely sail driven Line of Battle ship to be ordered and launched as such, subsequent ships being hybrid sail and steam vessels.
Launched in 1839, she took part in the Crimean War, being lit on fire multiple times during the Bombardment of Sevastopol (1854) before withdrawing.
In 1859 she was razed to two decks and reduced to 86 guns. Serving in the Mediterranean between 1859 and 1864. She was broken up in 1871.
Her mascot during the Siege of Sevastopol; Timothy the Tortoise died in 2004 at the tender age of 160.

Corvette ROCS Ta Chiang (PGG-619) right after acceptance into service, July 2021
It's an evolved design based on the previous catarman Tuo Chiang Class vessel, with its enlarged stealth hull also comes enhanced weapons and sensor suite, essentially outmatching much larger frigates of many other navies in raw firepower.
In the configuration as shown in the photo, this ship carries:
(1) Oto Melara 76mm gun, guided by Thales STIR 1.2 EO Mk2 fire control radar
(1) Mk-15 Phalanx CIWS Block 1B
(4) crew-manned .50 machine guns
As for missiles, the midship missile "banks" houses canisters for the following:
(8) HF-2 subsonic SSM
(4) HF-3 supersonic SSM
(16) TC-2 active radar guided SAM, guided by navalised MPQ-90 3D air search radar
