1809

Something is wrong with the "paid off" in 1809 claim since the ship was in action afterwards. Lastdingo (talk) 01:45, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect you have read the rather confusing article on ship de-commissioning. Paid off simply means that the crew were dismissed, so she could've put to sea again with a different crew. Even ships that were de-commissioned and laid up in ordinary, could be re-commissioned at a later date.--Ykraps (talk) 09:33, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
