Lotsa ships, one article

I'd like to question the utility of actually having separate articles for all editions of the Réale. It seems to me that each vessel is not nearly as important as the tradition of the royal galley itself. I also have serious doubts that each and everyone of the article will actually have enough information to merit separation, and most will likely never have anything but a stub to them. Why not keep them all under the same title to begin with and if someone starts taking serious interest in any of the specific galleys, a split could be made.

Either way, the main topic seems to me to be the tradition of the royal galleys of the French king, not the physical aspects of each separate galley.
