Not necessarily.
There are still quite a few people gaming with the smaller ones.
Sailpower makes a bunch of them. Check out their website, and Facebook page, by doing a search, and adding in 15mm as well. They offer quite a few vessels, and a nice set of pirate rules.
Hmmmm, for some reason, can't copy the images off of Photobucket to post here, for the Disney ships, but you can see them at the link below:

Every time I move over the img link to copy it in PB, the link disappears. Not sure, but perhaps it is a new PB software "enhancement". Needless to say, I find it quite annoying.
The figs on the decks are 15mm, Peter Pig Pirates, to show the scales of the vessels in relation to them. As you can see, they match up superbly.
For one of the vessels, I removed the rear mast, in order to convert it into a brig.
The anti-spyware scan seems to have fixed the problem.
