 * That's a really good question. A random sampling of my navy books seems to suggest that accents are dropped as part of coming into the RN, and it makes sense given the audience (non-French-speaking sailors, for instance), but I don't have anything that that says that in so many words.

 * The French Téméraire translates roughly to 'bold', as I understand it. Benea (talk) 17:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
