It's been about a week since your post and hopefully you've figured it out. If you haven't, go to one of the smaller islands and let the first mate take the wheel so you can disembark. But instead of getting off the ship, go right down below the helm and you'll see a red x and then you'll have Customize Ship pop up. After you customize the ship to look like the Royal Navy, then you'll be able to continue the mission. Coincidentally, this is exactly where I am in the game right now. Good luck!
