Sorry, I'm not being very clear. I mean, were there only three Mulletts? - Ah yes, with you now. Yes, only three.
  • Bream, Haddock and Grouper are unique names, were there any others? HMS Chub raises an interesting issue, Colledge has her as the former USS Eagle, but that article indicates she was renamed Finch after her capture. The Finch listed in Colledge was apparently USS Growler, but our wikipedia article has Growler becoming HMS Hamilton, but no ship with that name is listed as in service in the right period. There are a few other inconsistencies, clearly someone somewhere is confusing some records. I'll try to investigate this a little more in the near future.
User:Acad Ronin wrote the Ballahoo class schooner articles, and I know Rif has been involved. Given they are the smallest men-of-war imaginable, it is no surprise that the historical record is weak. I'll amend the articles to remove the "otherships" from those whose names were only used once. Shem (talk) 10:59, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
The full list of Ballahoo class schooner names is: HMS Ballahoo, HMS Barracouta, HMS Capelin, HMS Kingfish, HMS Grouper, HMS Haddock, HMS Herring, HMS Mackerel, HMS Pike, HMS Pilchard, HMS Snapper, HMS Whiting, HMS Bream, HMS Chub, HMS Cuttle, HMS Porgey, HMS Mullett & HMS Tang

Note

[edit]

I find that I can read sections of Colledge at Google Books. This should help to reduce my requests for your help. May I take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you've done at my request over the last couple of years? Yours, Shem (talk) 16:04, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
