Talk:Thomas Byam Martin

Commanders and sixth rates
The article currently says Martin was promoted to Commander, and given command of a sixth rate. Sixth rate ships are commanded by Captains -- not Commanders. Geo Swan (talk) 02:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this. Three Decks suggests HMS Tisiphone was a fireship rather than a sixth-rate. I think Heathcote must have got the rating wrong. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 22:01, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
