Talk:SMS Meteor (1865)

Battle of Havana
I removed a statement from the article which claimed this was the sole combat between the German and French navies during the war. This falseity is often repeated in various english language sources, but there were in fact other naval engagements between the two navies in the Baltic Sea during the War. Unlike the rest of the North German Navy, the North German Baltic squadron was quite active in opposing the French blockade engaging Édouard Bouët-Willaumez's squadron indecisively on various occasions.
