I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:39, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay.

  • No DABs and external links look good although the newspaper links are blocked because I don't have access.
  • Images properly licensed.
  • First two paras in the lede could be profitably be combined. One sentence paragraphs are not a good way to go.
  • enemy-controlled vessels reads awkwardly. If they were all French then say so.
  • Link on first use: launched, Caribbean station, decommissioned, Gibraltar, privateer, shipwright, keel, beam, hold, Dominica, brandy, broken up
  • forming a battery that could be fired directly forward use the term "chase guns" with a link and rework the sentence appropriately.
  • enemy craft the leading pair comma after "craft"
  • Her crewing complement was 200 officers and men Use either crew or complement and use the British term ratings rather than "men".
  • carry the General aboard Do not capitalize the rank here since it's not a proper noun. And the same here promoted to Admiral in 1794
  • when in company with Captain Rich's Enterprise she set off the subordinate clause with commas after "when" and "Enterprise"
  • for breaking up try "to be broken up" instead.
@Sturmvogel 66: No problems re delay, and thanks for the review. The above points are now  Done, and happy to make any further improvements if you come across more. -- Euryalus (talk) 04:40, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
