link laid down in the lead

Done

"in 1793 she was one of only eight serving British frigates to have thirty-eight or more 18-pounders." - was she given more 18-pounders at some point in 1793? An earlier part of the design and construction section indicates she only had 28 18-pounders, and an increase in the count of those guns isn't mentioned

Woops, some artistic license by me there. Fixed.

"and one accidentally drowned when one of Beaulieu's boats was sunk" - just want to make sure that this is a true accidental situation with an unintentional sinking, not the result of French fire

Removed "accidentally". A marine drowned when Beaulieu's barge was sunk by Chevrette, which I suppose should make him just another tally in the "killed" column, but the source lays them out separately so I'll do the same.

No dab links
No duplicate links
Image licensing looks fine
References look fine

This one's in pretty good ship - my only significant concern is the count of 18-pounders. I find it interesting that the dimensions of a ship would be known to the fraction of an inch, although that may just indicate that British shipbuilders cared more about their product than the Confederates.

@Hog Farm: Thanks, I've responded to your comments. Very grateful to all the shipwrights who diligently recorded all those minute measurements! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:32, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
