Article is new enough and long enough. Going to have to AGF throughout since I don't have access to most of these sources. #4 seems OK even if the source text is a bit similar to the article text. #16 supports some of the claims. #18 does not mention Trent. Not seeing any NPOV issues. Plagiarism- and copyvio-wise, I see some text is repeated across articles on ships, things like "Carronades were lighter so could be manoeuvred with fewer men, and had a faster rate of fire but had a much shorter". I'd like to ask for a quote supporting the hook, 'specially since the ISBN link doesn't work. It is interesting however. QPQ is a bit basic but passable. Images seem fine.

- Hi @Jo-Jo Eumerus: I'm not sure I fully understand what you're asking. Which part isn't covered by #16? Re #18, James III p.142 clearly mentions Trent in the third paragraph. The copied text you refer to is solely mine so I believe is okay without attribution. The isbn is correct [[1]] so I'm not sure why it isn't working. The book states that, "Duncan ordered Trent and Circe to patrol the Texel and send out signals to a non-existent British fleet. The ruse proved successful and the Dutch fleet remained in harbour". --Ykraps (talk) 08:18, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
I must have missed the non-Google ISBNs. The copied text might be a problem regarding the length requirement, but this article's long enough that a few sentences don't make a difference. With #16 I meant that at least part of the claims cited to it are supported by the source, with the others presumably from the other source. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

- Okay, done. I was suggesting her armament would have been reduced when she was converted to a hospital ship. --Ykraps (talk) 08:22, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Might be worth mentioning that carronades were not calculated in ship's rating during that time.
- Already mentioned in a footnote. --Ykraps (talk) 08:22, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
