Fact check edit
Most of the facts in this article seem to have originated in the first draft of the HMS Enterprise article by User:The Epopt. The source of them isn't clear, but there are obvious discrepancies with Lyons. The obvious one is the size - the old version had 110ft (gundeck) x 28ft x15ft, Lyons has 79'9" x 27'6" x 11'5". There's also the final fate of the Enterprise - the old version had it wrecking on "October 12 1707, off Thornton, England". I can't quite make out what Lyon says on Google Books, but it seems to be "2.10.1707 foundered off Tholon 'in the Streights (Mediterranean)'". I don't know if that's meant to be Toulon, but it would make sense for a ship that (unreferencedly admittedly :-) ) spent her career in the Med. Anyone got some better refs? 82.3.242.144 (talk) 16:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Pretty thin on facts all around. No French history prior to capture. Commissioned? Keel laid? 1701 maybe...? 2600:8807:5400:28F0:D56:83F3:7C70:DBAC (talk) 16:47, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
