 * link laid down in the lead


 * "in 1793 she was one of only eight serving British frigates to have thirty-eight or more 18-pounders." - was she given more 18-pounders at some point in 1793? An earlier part of the design and construction section indicates she only had 28 18-pounders, and an increase in the count of those guns isn't mentioned
 * Woops, some artistic license by me there. Fixed.


 * "and one accidentally drowned when one of Beaulieu's boats was sunk" - just want to make sure that this is a true accidental situation with an unintentional sinking, not the result of French fire
 * Removed "accidentally". A marine drowned when Beaulieu's barge was sunk by Chevrette, which I suppose should make him just another tally in the "killed" column, but the source lays them out separately so I'll do the same.


 * No dab links
 * No duplicate links
 * Image licensing looks fine
 * References look fine

This one's in pretty good ship - my only significant concern is the count of 18-pounders. I find it interesting that the dimensions of a ship would be known to the fraction of an inch, although that may just indicate that British shipbuilders cared more about their product than the Confederates.

 * Thanks, I've responded to your comments. Very grateful to all the shipwrights who diligently recorded all those minute measurements! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:32, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
