Mosquito Fleet

edit

The "Mosquito Fleet" link here leads to a late-19th-century fleet on a different body of water, not the one this ship participated in. Can someone knowledgeable disambig?-FZ 20:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

The above request has been up nearly 4 years and this fleet still does not appear on the disambiguation page. Not called "mosquito fleet" in DANFS. Removed link and renamed section.Dankarl (talk) 20:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Masirah incident

edit
 
The men of the Peacock escape the foundering vessel.
 
Peacock. Alfred T. Agate. Pencil.

Adding the Masirah grounding left no room for the later foundering. To avoid confusing the two incidents, I'm parking the foundering here for someone else to decide what to do with it. I also recommend replacing the icy image in the info box with the pencil drawing by the same exploration expedition artist, but won't do it myself. It might even be better to replace it with one of her at war that can be found in images at Go-ogle and Yahoo! --Pawyilee (talk) 15:07, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yellow Fever

edit

Is it ever explicitly stated whether or not the so-called 'malignant' fever was in fact Yellow Fever or not? I know this is extremely trivial. But I'm new to Wikipedia editing. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdmiralAckbar1977 (talkcontribs) 00:23, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Pronoun Usage

edit

In the second paragraph, last sentence, Peacock is referred to as "she." In the third paragraph, second sentence, USS Peacock is referred to as "it." I don't know if one is preferred, or if the change is because of the change in name. Asterisk121 (talk) 14:03, 2 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
