[edit] Move to proper name in accordance with naming conventions

This needs to be moved back to HMS Beagle, in accordance with the naming conventions in line with every other Royal Navy ship. Dunc|☺ 12:43, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Beagles?

About Darwin - People of note shows 9 HMS Beagles, citing Keith Stewart Thomson, H.M.S. Beagle, The Story of Darwin's Ship. W.W. Norton, New York, London, 1995 Pages 285-6. and listing "H.M.S. Beagle #1 An 8-gun gallivat. Built around 1766 by Bombay Marine shipbuilders." The others seem to match. Is this correct? dave souza 20:25, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I would say so, but I'm not qualified to write it. (I wouldn't know "gallivat" from a yacht if I saw them.) --Astronouth7303 03:14, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
