Errors & typos[edit]

Charente Inferieure (1793) is listed twice, about 1/2 way down the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.20.236 (talk) 11:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I have now corrected this duplication (and made a number of other changes). Rif. Rif Winfield (talk) 21:09, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Partial listing[edit]

The Louis XIV period (1661-1715) listing is currently incomplete. I am adding to it as and when time allows. Rif Winfield (talk) 21:18, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two frigates named Volontaire[edit]

"Volontaire" (~1793) is listed as a "one-off" design, also as one of the Virginie class (different designer), launched 1796, captured 1806. Were there 2 ships? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.200.17.52 (talk) 13:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, there were two separate 18-pounder frigates named Volontaire - the one-off ship launched 26 June 1794 (she was named Montagne until 10 July 1794), which was lost on 23 August 1794; and the Virginie class frigate launched 7 September 1796. If one goes back a century to the 1690s, there were another two earlier French warships bearing this name as well. Rif. Rif Winfield (talk) 21:06, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The entries for French frigate Dur (1671) and French frigate Dur (1673) both claim the respective ships were renamed Bien Aimée in 1685 when reclassed as a frégate légère and both "deleted 1693". Clarityfiend (talk) 02:04, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
