It is not factually correct to say that Améthyste is a new name, as it has been used before by the French Navy. The first Améthyste was a 30-gun frigate (with 26 x 8pdr and 4 x 4pdr guns) launched in 1754, which served in the French Navy throughout the Seven Years War and was taken to pieces in 1771 (see List of frigates of France). There was also a brig-sloop of this name during the Napoleonic War.
Consequently, I have edited the opening paragraph of the present article to remove references to Améthyste as a "new" name. (talk) 09:11, 5 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
