• The 18-pounder link in the lead goes to a WWI gun, do you mean 18-pounder long gun?

• Yes, oops!

• "leaving more space than was often found to operate them in." - I've read this three times and I'm not entirely sure what this is trying to indicate - can it be rephrased for clarify?

• Rewritten

• " The ships would in later years be classified as 42-gun frigates." - was this a reclassification on paper, a change in armament, or both

• Just the navy deciding to count more of the guns that were already there

• "By 1800 the majority of British frigates were of a size with the ships of other nations" - is this missing a word?

• No, but clarified

• The lead directly states that the 1808 order was an accident, but this is relegated to a footnote in the main body. If it's significant enough to warrant inclusion in the lead, I would say it should probably be in the main text of the body as well

• Done

• "nd their crew complement was set slightly lower than the original iteration of the class; at 260," - I thought that was what the original iterations of the class had for the crew, as that was the original figure and the 270 was with later adjustments

• The later adjustment was a year before the first ship of the class was even launched, no ship of the original iteration actually went to sea with that number (on paper!)

• I did a couple source spot-checks, no issues
• File:Grand Port mg6981.jpg needs a PD tag for the underlying work of the painting

• Have..hopefully..added the correct thing

• Image licensing otherwise looks fine, sources are reliable for what they are citing

I think that's it from me for this one, good work. Hog Farm _Talk 19:20, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
