Overlinked

I don't think it would hurt if some went through here and cut out a bunch of links for dates etc. --Howdybob 14:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, did it myself. Many of these naval articles are a bit overlinked though. --Howdybob 14:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Most powerful naval vessel then afloat"

"Considered by many the most powerful naval vessel then afloat..."

First of all, who is "many"? Second, if "many" does refer to some actual group of people then they were mistaken. She was not even remotely the most most powerful naval vessel then afloat. Built for 74 guns, she would have been on par with a British third-rater. True, her extra armament gave her 104 guns, but the British Caledonia-Class first-raters (active through North Carolina's entire existence) were built for 120 guns and presumably carried more than that.
