Dear RifThanks for the comments I had already anticipated the need for pre Nineteenth century gunboats and as you say gunbrigs and I know how I ll get them in there very easily Can you send me the details in the same way I ll take a couple of weeks at least to run through the current gunboats gunvessels page ensuring that the details are error free which I doubt given my errors of transcription that I ve already uncovered It also occurs to me that torpedo boats are not listed anywhere I imagine another but much shorter list is called for As for the format it has the very strong advantage of making the class pages simple to write as I m doing with Mariner class gunvessels What I could do is simply delete the lists as the class pages get filled in One question I do have for you is have I missed any entire classes out and do all the vessel listed count as Royal Navy vessels I m thinking particularly of Magnet Canada and the like I ve left out all the colonial service vessels but not HMS Diana 1823 for that very reason Thanks for all your help without it I wouldn t so much have started Yours
