With reference to ship status/classification? what is "in ordinary" .... what is a "receiving ship"? These need links. The Ship Commissioning article and the "lifecycle of a navy ship" bottom nav box don't seem to cover these concepts. (note that I see "in ordinary" in a LOT of USN related articles, and it's never linked that I have noticed... this may be due to the writers all knowing what it means but we landlubbers do not...) Thanks. ++[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 00:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC) |

:Fancy meeting you here! I've added interwiki links to both. Briefly, "in ordinary" means in reserve - literally deactivated (no armament, no stores, no crew), and often actually decommissioned as well. Receiving ships were used to bunk new recruits offshore, to keep them from running off once they found out that the Navy was hard work! I'll remind folks to be a bit more liberal with the linking :) [[User:Maralia|Maralia]] ([[User talk:Maralia|talk]]) 04:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC) |

Was there an order by the British Admiralty not to engage U.S. heavy frigates? Can someone point me in the right direction? |

Adding a note in regards to the US ship Chesapeake
While the British broke up Chesapeake, its timbers were auctioned off and sold to construct what is known as Chesapeake Mill. This mill exists to this day. 67.172.25.52 (talk) 05:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.25.52 (talk) 05:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
