  • 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!)
  • 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)[reply]
