B-Class assessment

[edit]

Meets the B-class criteria. Overall this is a well-referenced and detailed article.

A couple of suggestions if there's any interest in taking it further than B:

  • The lead is a little clunky - for example, the sentence on capture and recapture flows a bit oddly. The lead should also summarise the major campaigns the vessel was in.
  • The infobox contains ship specifications, but ideally these would also be in the body or the article along with some context. How did she compare with her peers? Why was she commissioned, and at what cost? And so on.
  • The main body of the article has significant detail but is a bit too list-like. The various engagements, stations and changes of personnel would make more sense with some context attached.

Just some passing thoughts. All others views welcome. Euryalus (talk) 10:46, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nymphe

[edit]

Presumably the Nymphe mentioned here is the second Nymphe class frigate launched 1782. See here Nymphe-class frigate. This article says 36-guns, the other article suggests 40 guns?
