[edit] NPOV

"Unfortunately, some of the French ships weren't ready for action, so Suffren had to withdraw." Unfortunatly for whom, and why does the author consider that to be unfortunate? Should an encyclopedia tell us it was unfortunate, or tell us what happened and leave us to draw our own conclusions. I would argue the latter, as would the Wikipedia policies and guidelines, especially on NPOV. Chrisfow 15:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
