"Went into ordinary"
This is something of a
term of art and as such somewhat
jargony for a general-interest encyclopaedia; however I suppose that it can be argued that those interested in such an article are generally familiar with the term.

"Acting as flagship for two years, she protected commerce and suppressed the slave trade off the African coast."
The text of the headline (out of the article's first paragraph) says the exact opposite of a quote in F. Douglass's "My Bondage and My Freedom":
"Wendell Phillips — the eloquent New England orator — on his return from Europe, in 1842, said, “As I stood upon the shores of Genoa, and saw floating on the placid waters of the Mediterranean, the beautiful American war ship Ohio, with her masts tapering proportionately aloft, and an eastern sun reflecting her noble form upon the sparkling waters, attracting the gaze of the multitude, my first impulse was of pride, to think myself an American; but when I thought that the first time that gallant ship would gird on her gorgeous apparel, and wake from beneath her sides her dormant thunders, it would be in defense of the African slave trade, I blushed in utter shame for my country.”"
^Frederick Douglass. My Bondage and My Freedom. 1855
ames of many USS manly USS GYATT RIZZI AND OHIOS
As a man who uses Wikipedia a lot for research for manly boats i have fear that these "trolls putting manly memes and other "funny" like there are fears of this getting towards a large problem where slang is used and then its vandalized maybe we should put the USS and other boats that could be in this reference protected temporally until storm dies down and a lot of these maybe target so hopefully we can get staff preventing trolls we are website of honesty and info to masses and we dont want that reputation to be destroyed forever
