It seems unlikely that repairs were started in June 1808 just after recommissioning in April 1808. Perhaps the repairs were made in 1807? Christhe spelleryack 16:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Both Winfield's 1714-1792 and 1793-1817 British Warships in the Age of Sail quote these dates and while it may seem odd, it is not impossible that this was the case. The outgoing captain would not have left the ship in tip-top condition and it might take the new captain a while to identify necessary repairs. --Ykraps (talk) 07:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
