  • Ironclad is linked twice in the lead, Chase gun is linked twice in the Armament and protection section.
  • "..one of ten Provence-class ironclad armored frigates built.." Can we avoid this WP:SEAOFBLUE?
  • "Together with the ironclad Magenta, the ship visited Plymouth, England, on 17–19 July." Is it worth expanding that this was for the Exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society? [1]
    • Dammit, I couldn't figure out why they were there for the life of me, but not being able to access this link might explain why not.
      • "The Austrian screw frigate Frederick, Capt. Whiplinger, which has been at Plymouth in consequence of the Exhbition of the Royal Agricultural Society, was under orders on Saturday to leave the Sound of Cherbourg.
        The French ship of war Magenta, Capt. Lebris, the frigate La Flandre, Capt. Bachine, and the gunboat Ariel, Commander Poirier d'Hauterive, which have also been at Plymouth during the last week in consequence of the Exhibition, left the Sound by the Eastern Channel on Saturday evening for Cherbourg."

        • Added with my thanks.
  • Some information here about some gun trials she was involved in?
  • "In January 1867, Flandre collided with the British merchantman Brutus in the Atlantic Ocean. Brutus sank with the loss of ten of her fourteen crew." Do we know if there was any diplomatic fall out from this?
    • None that I know of.

Overall, another tidy piece of work with little to fault. Harrias talk 07:58, 20 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
