Correction to HMS Bonne Citoyenne cargo
[edit]"[HMS] Bonne Citoyenne was reportedly carrying $1.6 million in spices to England"
No. Not spices. Specie; that is, coined money; silver and gold coins. The line should read "[HMS] Bonne Citoyenne was reportedly carrying $1.6 million in specie to England"

- Today, someone (was it you?) using 72.204.54.180 made this same suggested edit, but did not attach a source to it. - wolf 13:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
Corrections to the Quasi-War
[edit]Can someone verify that the first ship engaged by the USS Constitution, as mentioned by reference 32? Please and thank you. 128.177.55.100 (talk) 03:27, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Re: "They intercepted Niger off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina, on 8 September, a 24-gun ship sailing with a French crew en route from Jamaica to Philadelphia, claiming to have been under the orders of Great Britain."[1]
- Yes, this appears to be correct. the French ship Niger was the first ship captured by Constitution in 1798.[2]

Tour Capacity?

Updated vessel command list.
[edit]Vessel recently changed command, I updated the list of commanders, if anyone wants to go through and check if I missed anything go ahead. 97.177.58.134 (talk) 03:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- At USS Constitution § Commanders there are some 50 COs who are red-linked. That suggests that they are not notable in the Wikipedia sense. I propose to delete all COs who do not have their own articles. WP:SHIPSNOTCREWS would seem to suggest that the whole list be removed. I'm more-or-less indifferent to that position but there was no CO list when this article was promoted FA. At a minimum I think that all the redlinked and unlinked COs in the list of commanders should be removed.
- Do? Not do?

- I feel like deleting the entire list would probably serve more harm than it does good. Every commander of the vessel can be considered notable and should be listed. I believe that removing the list can cause some heavy confusion, considered to the average person the list would look like there's way too less commanders than realistically should. I believe for now the list should be left alone 97.177.58.134 (talk) 20:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also mentioning that I seemed to have forgotten to at least redlinked the new commander. But in all honestly it just seems a bad idea to delete the list of commands for having unlinked. Other historical naval vessel lists seem to still have their full commanders listed. 97.177.58.134 (talk) 20:25, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
