Description of defeat of Chesapeake sounds biased
The explanation of how ships were classified seems out of place in describing the action between Shannon and Chesapeake. The American Navy won the half dozen encounters because they were better, just as Broke led the Shannon to win because his ship was better. Trying to explain away the American successes on technicalities of how ships were classified sounds biased, not a simple recording of facts. I have not compared this article with the one about the ship action. I hope it has more inline citations than this article has; without them, it reads as opinion or original research as is. - -Prairieplant (talk) 17:17, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
