Merge edit

This article should be merged with the frigate article. I would do it myself but I dont know how.--Az81964444 (talk) 00:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

China edit

China didn't begin testing steam powered ships until much later than 1840. They lost the first and second opium war because of the prevalence of steam ships from Europe.

notice of possible merger of "screw sloop" edit

There exists stub article screw sloop with a fair number, 198, of inbound links. It should perhaps be merged to Steam frigate or to sloop-of-war (perhaps specifically to Sloop-of-war#Decline, which gives a little context perhaps worth consulting before jumping along its link to Steam frigate). Please comment at informal merger proposal discussion, at Talk:Screw sloop#Merge (revived in 2020). --Doncram (talk) 22:09, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
