Officially rated as 'sloops' by the Royal Navy and described as such in all major texts, this article describes them as 'sloops-of-war' - a historical term for a similarly (un)rated*/ranked naval vessel.
While a reference to the historical rank of ship by means of a link might be of interest to the reader, it is not appropriate as a designation for this class. Therefore, the link has been retained but the descriptor changed to 'sloop'. 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:5D9:ACB5:1A47:BB9 (talk) 22:00, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
