A fact from Dark-class patrol boat appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 July 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the diesel exhausts from the Royal Navy's Dark-class fast patrol boats caused the ships to become so dirty that they had to paint the hulls black?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/July.

Naming?

Number of boats

Numbers in test do not correspond to numbers in box! Text: "Originally 27 units were ordered by the admiralty from seven builders. Nine were eventually cancelled in 1955, including Dark Horseman which at the time was partially completed and on the stocks in the builders yard.[4] " Box: "Planned: 35 Completed: 26 Cancelled: 9 Active: 0 Retired: 26 " Further more I do not understand the following: "The Dark class, or Admiralty "Type A", were a class of eighteen fast patrol boats that " - here, only 18 are mentioned! What is now true? 27, 26 or 18??? 80.151.9.187 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:11, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
