Errors & typos
editCharente Inferieure (1793) is listed twice, about 1/2 way down the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.20.236 (talk) 11:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out. I have now corrected this duplication (and made a number of other changes). Rif. Rif Winfield (talk) 21:09, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Partial listing
editThe Louis XIV period (1661-1715) listing is currently incomplete. I am adding to it as and when time allows. Rif Winfield (talk) 21:18, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Two frigates named Volontaire
edit"Volontaire" (~1793) is listed as a "one-off" design, also as one of the Virginie class (different designer), launched 1796, captured 1806. Were there 2 ships? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.200.17.52 (talk) 13:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- Indeed, there were two separate 18-pounder frigates named Volontaire - the one-off ship launched 26 June 1794 (she was named Montagne until 10 July 1794), which was lost on 23 August 1794; and the Virginie class frigate launched 7 September 1796. If one goes back a century to the 1690s, there were another two earlier French warships bearing this name as well. Rif. Rif Winfield (talk) 21:06, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
The entries for French frigate Dur (1671) and French frigate Dur (1673) both claim the respective ships were renamed Bien Aimée in 1685 when reclassed as a frégate légère and both "deleted 1693". Clarityfiend (talk) 02:04, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Loss dates and locations
editI have started adding loss dates and locations of loss of any frigates I can verify. J. McQuin (talk) 13:45, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
Errors and Typos
editThe Iris powder hulk destroyed at Toulon on 18 December 1793 was not built in Toulon, France as is listed 29 October 1781. She was originally the American Continental frigate Hancock, captured by HMS Rainbow in 1777, subsequently captured by France on 11 September 1781 in Chesapeake Bay J.
