Talk:Spanish ship Fenix (1749)

Copy-edit query
"By June, the Gibralter was back in the Mediterranean, serving in the navy's Egyptian campaign,"

The comma implies that in previous duty in the Mediterranean, the ship had not been serving in in that campaign. True? Otherwise, please remove the comma. Tony  (talk)  08:36, 21 January 2017 (UTC)


 * True. The Mediterranean Campaign began in 1798 and Gibraltar was there in 1795 before having to go to England for repairs, following a storm. She was also in the Mediterranean under the Spanish flag. Fenix, as she was then, was part of a squadron of ten ships of the line sent to collect King Carlos III from Naples in 1759. She was also there, apparently, in 1779, immediately before her capture off Cape St Vincent in January 1780.--Ykraps (talk) 08:33, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
