Talk:HMS Agincourt (1865)

1875-1877 Re-armament
Text reads : "After another two years' good service, Agincourt was paid off in 1875 for re-armament, trading her outdated muzzle loading guns for new breach-loading ones".

This doesn't match the infobox, and the new generation of breechloaders didnot arrive until 1880. Accodring to Brassey's in 1888 she had 17 12-ton (i.e. 9-inch) muzzle-loaders, which does match the infobox. The stuff about breechloaders cannot be correct. Also, the stuff in the infobox about 20-pounder smoothbores is a bit odd for 1875. What it looks like happened in the refit is that the 7-inch RMLs were replaced by a lesser number of 9-inch RMLs.
