Ships sunk?[edit]

Is there a similar list of ships sunk during this period? If so, could someone please add a link to that list? Thank you. Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 00:11, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Siege of Toulon[edit]

The ships in Toulon briefly under British control and later recaptured by the French are listed here as "HMS". Yes, these vessels were under the control of the Royal Navy, but they were never commissioned into it. Does anyone have a reason for keeping the "HMS"? Jaa101 (talk) 04:43, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flags[edit]

Needs massive clean-up. For the British flags, naval does not mean maritime, it means HMS, i.e., Royal Navy. For merchantmen the flag should generally be the red ensign, i.e., civil. For transports, the flag should be the blue ensign, i.e., government. Acad Ronin (talk) 12:50, 18 November 2019 (UTC) Generally, ( Great Britain) this should replace ( Great Britain).
