number of guns

[edit]

Suggest the article should be editted to describe Canopus as an 80 gun ship. It currently describes her as an 84 gun ship, which was her rating after 1817 (when the method of rating changed), however she was rated an 80 for her "active" career during the Napoleanic wars, and all the other Tonnant class ships in either French or British service are described as 80 gun ships. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:C7C0:192C:FC87:CFE8:F542 (talk) 22:33, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
