Edits prompted by incorrect inclusion and prefixes[edit]

The first "Tromp" of the list (as it was) was actually called "Admiraal Tromp" and belonged to first the navy of the Dutch Republic, and after 1795 the navy of the Batavian Republic, before it was captured by the British navy in 1796. This ship therefore never was part of the Royal Netherlands Navy and never carried the prefix "Zr. Ms." I have placed the entry between html-brackets to edit it out. A number of the other entries had the incorrect prefix "Hr. Ms." which should be "Zr. Ms" as the Netherlands had a king at the time (remember these prefixes refer to the Dutch "Zijner Majesteits", respectively "Harer Majesteits").--Ereunetes (talk) 23:22, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
