Not a GA requirement of course, but is there any map that could be used to illustrate the article?
Under "Background", second paragraph - "Princess Royal was a well-armed ship, carrying 26 12-pounder cannon and a number of smaller calibre guns on the maindeck, and the ship was rapidly taken over by the French Navy as a 34-gun frigate named Duguay Trouin, and attached to the Île de France squadron of the frigates Prudente and Cybèle and the brig Vulcain under Captain Jean-Marie Renaud." - This is a very long sentence and becomes difficult to read; could it be split into two for readability? I had to stop and re-read it two or three times, and even then it was tough.
Same section, third paragraph - "Orpheus alone sent away three officers and twenty men in prizes." - I don't know if there's anything that you can do about it, but this sentence might not be understood by the average reader.
To allow for these changes to be made I am placing the article on hold for a period of up to a week. I'm always open to discussion on any of the items, so if you think I'm wrong on something leave your thoughts here and we'll discuss. I'll be checking this page at least daily, unless something comes up, so you can be sure I'll notice any comments left here. You probably knew that already though.
