I have seen the term "man of war" used many times to refer to any fighting naval vessel. For example, [[Daniel V. Gallery]] and several others call the German submarine, U-505, a "man-of-war". Websters' Dictionary agrees. I changed this page to reflect that but [[User:Gdr|Gdr]] removed my addition. I have revised it again, I hope in a way that is accepable to all.

Revision as of 21:46, 20 February 2006
The revised phrasing implies that "man of war" has/had a rather precise definition, which is news to me. What's the authority for that? Stan 04:10, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
