Initial comments[edit]

"Inconstant was the first of six fast, iron-hulled, frigates designed" - the opening sentence of the design section doesn't mention the fact that she was unarmoured (only the lead does)
- Good catch.
"The following year the ship was assigned to the Detached Squadron" - this isn't italicised in the lead
- And again.
"which visited ports in Scandinavia after Inconstant joined them at Gibraltar" - link Gibraltar
- And thrice.
"until he was got sick at Hong Kong" - in Hong Kong
No dead links
No dab links

Amazing that this ship was almost in service for 90 years. On hold until those minor issues are out of the way JAGUAR 21:17, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd bet that she was very spacious once they pulled her engines and boilers and wrought iron is pretty durable. HMS Warrior (1860), the first iron-hulled ironclad, is still afloat down next to HMS Victory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:15, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've been on both ships! I've been on the Victory three times and the Warrior once, as I live near Portsmouth. It never gets old. Thanks for addressing these, promoted
