Talk:HMS Enterprise (1864)

Copyediting notes

 * "this still left a 120° arc fore and aft on which no gun could bear". An arc (in this context) should be unbroken; I'm not sure whether you mean to say that no targeting was possible over an arc 60° fore and another arc 60° aft (or two numbers that add up to 120), or whether it's 120° fore and 120° aft ... if the latter, perhaps it would be better to say what was covered. - Dank (push to talk) 20:00, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I changed it to "120° arc fore and another aft" which should clarify things.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

General Query
Just a general query about the history of this ship, I notice on the HMS Enterprise page that it mentions that in 1861 a wooden screw sloop was laid down, and then in 1862, that Enterprise and the planned Circassian seemed to switch names. Was it as simple as that, and a direct and deliberate switch? Miyagawa  (talk)  18:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. None of my sources refer to any switch of names at all; they just talk about Circassian being renamed Enterprise.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
