Untitled[edit]

Note that in his report from St Fernando de Omoa dated Oct 21 1779 and reported in the LONDON GAZETTE on Dec 18, Capt Dalrymple states - "we sailed in the Porcupine sloop of war . . ." This sounds more like the previous Porcupine, a sloop of war, than the subject of the current article. I will watch for responses to this discussion point before amending the article and the one about the previous ship of this name. Cardenae (talk) 11:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
