Talk:HMS Mullett (1860)

Ordered for the Chinese Government?
One of the references states that she was ordered for the Chinese Government to serve as part of Sherard Osborn's Vampire Fleet. This doesn't bear scrutiny; the three vessels involved were HMS Mohawk (1856), HMS Jasper (1857) and HMS Africa (1862) (see W L Clowes on the Taiping rebellion 1860 - 1862). According to Winfield, Mullett was ordered by the Admiralty on 14 June 1859. Shem (talk) 11:54, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
