I have no objection.--
Toddy1 20:55, 9 September 2007 (UTC) However, it would probably be better to use "line-of-battle ship" as that is what they were called at the time. The term "battleship" is a contraction of "line-of-battle ship" and seems to date from 1882.--

Hi Toddy1, I was just about to ask you about that, namely "would you have any objection to 'Bulwark class ship of the line (1859)' and 'Duncan class ship of the line (1859)'". But I guess now that you wouldn't. If that's ok with you, mind if I make the move? Kind regards,

My impression was that "line-of-battle ship" and "liner" were the preferred term for steam line-of-battle ships. I have only ever seen "ship of the line" used for sailing vessels (Fincham uses the term.) What I have done is to put a rename proposal up.--
