Carrier air raids
Should add in carrier air raids (Pearl Harbor, Rabaul, Taranto) under "naval bombardment" or under an entirely separate section? Masterblooregard (talk) 13:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Princess Augusta
This Napoleonic Wars item:

"1803 September 20 - Hired armed cutter Princess Augusta repulses the Dutch schooners Faust and Wraak."

does not fit. If there were two Dutch ships and one English the total is three ships, and no longer a "single-ship action". MKFI (talk) 09:23, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Texas Revolution
Karanacs has removed the word "revolution" from the Texas entry as the incident took place before scholars recognize the opening of the Revolution (Oct 2 1835). The entry heading now looks a bit bald. The entry now also links to the article 'Ingham Incident' which says 'Due to the outbreak of the Texas Revolution...'. The article on the Ingham herself says '...having fired 13 guns...considered by some historians as the first broadside of the Texas Revolution'. There are some discrepancies here which could be corrected. I will not edit either article as I have no particular knowledge of the issues. Just to be very picky isnt the Ingham incident between the US and Mexico? Orenburg1 (talk) 09:33, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

War of 1812
The USS Essex fought both the HMS Phoebe and HMS Cherub, this was in no way a single ship action. Similarly, the entry "1815 January 15 - HMS Endymion defeats USS President" is very incorrect and misleading. The President crippled the Endymion and took only light damage herself, and this battle involved an entire squadron of British vessels, who compelled the USS President to surrender after an unlucky hit on the US ship's rigging slowed her enough for the British squadron to begin pummeling her stern quarters. If anything, this should read, "USS President cripples HMS Endymion" or, more accurately, not be included at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.58.4 (talk) 23:46, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Russo-Swedish War

 * 1789 May 21 - Cutter Mercury, under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Roman Crown, two ships of the line and two frigates captures Swedish 40-gun frigate Venus which, according to tradition, joins the Russian navy under the same name. This was in no way a single ship action as announced by the Russian captain of the cutter. "Commander Jenkins of the cutter Merkuriy answered the call from his enemy colleague. In a letter that can still be found of the Swedish court protocols he not only confirmed that Commander Hansson did actually haul down his flag to the squadron, but also claims his ship suffered severe damages and would have been sunk if the larger ships had not come to his assistance." from the page for Venus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.176.65.1 (talk) 07:34, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
