"H.M.S. Lady Nelson" or something? --Wetman 04:25, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I pondered this, and decided against it on the grounds that a) the real Lady Nelson would, if she had a page, be listed under her first name and last name, rather than her title (Lord Nelson is on here as Horatio Nelson for example); b) she doesn't have a page anyway. The usual disambiguation for ships seems to be in the form of Loch Ard (ship) or James Craig (barque) which would make this "Lady Nelson (brig)" if it were to happen... but at the moment my preference would be to leave it, and perhaps put a pointer to a page for the person if/when one is created. --Skud 07:35, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• The current name, "HMS Lady Nelson (1798)", is almost certainly incorrect. HMS is a prefix for ships, not brigs. Geo Swan (talk) 22:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently says:

"The vessel, the Estramina, was crewed by Americans who had taken her as a prize in the American war against Spain."

The USA did go to war with Spain -- the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's "Splendid little war" -- but it was almost 100 years later.

The USA's first declared war was with Tripoli, in 1805, and was confined exclusively to the Mediterranean.

So, I request clarification of this passage. Geo Swan (talk) 22:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is information in the history of the above redirect which could be used to expand this article, or could possible be a stand-alone article if enough independent reliable source material is found. —Anne Delong (talk) 21:10, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{subst:requested move|HMS Lady Nelson (1799)|reason=the original version of the article indicated that the Lady Nelson was built at Deptford in 1799 which is correct. In a revision by Irene Schaffer, 24 Oct. 2009, the following sentence was inserted 'The Lady Nelson was launched on Tuesday 13 November 1798 at Deadman's Dock Deptford.' This was erroneously based on an article about another vessel of the same name that appeared in 'The Times' on 20 November 1798. I think the date in the title was changed from 1799 to 1798 at that time but I do not know how that can be verified. Evidence for the 1799 building date is contained in my major revision entered on 23 October 2013: see particularly the second paragraph under the heading Design, Building and Commissioning, and Footnote (c).}}
