Talk:HMS Indefatigable (1784)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Illustration cannot be of the HMS Indefatigable (nor the HMS Amazon) as captioned

[edit]

The caption on the illustration herein states: "Battle between the French warship Droits de l'Homme and the frigates HMS Amazon and Indefatigable, 13 & 14 January 1797. (Indefatigable on the left, Droits de l'Homme at the centre, Amazon on the right.)"

However, both the ship on the left and the right are flying American flags! Therefore, it is impossible for them to be the HMS Amazon and HMS Indefatigable, is it not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sloane77 (talkcontribs) 21:48, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are not flying American flags, but rather the Red Ensign. It looks a bit like the US flag from the distance, but that is just an illusion. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 00:01, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Citations needed

[edit]

There a quite a few additional citations needed in this article to meet MILHIST B Class. The assertion that she was almost obsolete at the time she was commissioned, the award of the Naval GSM to surviving crew, the fact that she was not involved in a particular action, the fact that she was laid up (or similar). I have not listed them all, a quick look through the article should identify them. Ping me when you're done and I'd be happy to have another look.

Hornblower

[edit]

Some wiki pages have an "in popular culture" section - I don't know whether this would warrant a whole section, but perhaps some mention somewhere that this ship and Pellew feature heavily in the (very famous) Hornblower books (and TV series) wouldn't go awry. If nobody offers any judgement on where in the article to place this info, I'll endeavor to find somewhere to make the relevant edits in a few weeks time. pstils (talk) 10:17, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
