Number of ships? edit

There must have beeen at least four, and not three, ships named Bellerophon as according to www.battleships.cruisers.co.uk the third "Bellerophon" was launched in 1865. Additionally there is an account here of the fitting out of a 78 gun HMS Bellerophon in 1847. Whether this was an old ship that had been renamed and recommisioned is not clear. The article in Wikipedia on John Prettyjohn states that he joined HMS Bellerophon in 1850. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cejwildman (talkcontribs) 06:22, 27 July 2006

I was just wondering about that myself. Mackensen (talk) 18:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
