Initial comments
[edit]- "Inconstant was the first of six fast, iron-hulled, frigates designed" - the opening sentence of the design section doesn't mention the fact that she was unarmoured (only the lead does)
- Good catch.
- "The following year the ship was assigned to the Detached Squadron" - this isn't italicised in the lead
- And again.
- "which visited ports in Scandinavia after Inconstant joined them at Gibraltar" - link Gibraltar
- And thrice.
- "until he was got sick at Hong Kong" - in Hong Kong
- No dead links
- No dab links
Amazing that this ship was almost in service for 90 years. On hold until those minor issues are out of the way JAGUAR 21:17, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'd bet that she was very spacious once they pulled her engines and boilers and wrought iron is pretty durable. HMS Warrior (1860), the first iron-hulled ironclad, is still afloat down next to HMS Victory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:15, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
- I've been on both ships! I've been on the Victory three times and the Warrior once, as I live near Portsmouth. It never gets old. Thanks for addressing these, promoted JAGUAR 12:17, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
