After some testing, it seems that your observation is correct. Taking pierce armor into account, the Caravel seems to deal a large amount of damage towards Fishing Ships only, while against even Transports it only scores a flat 7. In most cases a War Galley is required to nail 16 times to sink a Caravel, while the latter required 19 to do the opposite. A War Galley deals close to 9 per shot but is more prone to missing if the target moves, so I guess the Caravel has an advantage of accuracy?

It could win, but very infrequently from what I've seen and only then by a very narrow margin, so I suppose that part should be edited.
