TFA reminder

President
USS President was a nominally rated 44-gun wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. President was one of the original six frigates whose construction the Naval Act of 1794 had authorized, and she was the last to be completed. Her first duties with the newly formed United States Navy were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War. On 16 May 1811, President was at the center of the Little Belt Affair when her crew mistakenly identified HMS Little Belt as HMS Guerriere, which was sought after for impressing an American seaman. The ships exchanged cannon fire for several minutes resulting in Little Belt suffering great damage. Subsequent U.S. and Royal Navy investigations placed responsibility for the attack on the other ship. The incident contributed to tensions between the U.S. and Great Britain that led to the War of 1812. (more...)

HMS Polecat (1782)

Hi Brad, Sorry about that. Sometimes these minor vessels turn out to have interesting histories, and sometimes they don't. That said, I am uncomfortable giving any kind of rating to any article I have prepared and so appreciate your efforts. On a related note, there are many vessels that served the Royal Navy that have even less info than Polecat, but that are the only one of their name. When the vessel is one of several, I can park some/all of the limited info available on the disambig page, together with the source, and hope that eventually more will be available. However, do you have any suggestions about what I could do about singletons such as HMS Oronoque, when these have too little info even to qualify as a stub? Any good ideas about some sort of an annotated list page? Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 20:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was Oronoque part of any ship class? If it was then placing the information in the class article is the way to go. If not, maybe it should be added to a "List of ships" article? Brad (talk) 23:58, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Placentia class sloop

Hi Brad: Many thanks for the cleanup on the templates, categories, etc. I was working on it last night and got into such a muddle I gave up. As for pre and post sloop classes, there just weren't any. These two vessels were just a one-off aberration for the Newfoundland station. They didn't come from any predecessors in the role or type and didn't give rise to any successors. Again thanks for the help, Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 18:29, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

USS_America_(ID-3006)

While researching Willy Stöwer I came across an interesting color postcard of USS America, and uploaded a decent quality image to a web album (don't have WP upload access). You are welcome to use it (artist is deceased 70+ years). ~Eric F 184.76.225.106 (talk) 06:30, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
