A fact from French ship Neptune (1803) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 April 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that among the ships fighting at Trafalgar(pictured) were the British HMS Neptune, the French Neptune and the Spanish Neptuno?
The article previously noted this ship as second rate, linking it to 2nd rate. That article specified that:
1. 80 guns qualified a ship in the Royal Navy as third rate, not second, and
2. Second rate was not noted for ships in the French and Spanish Navies.
For both reasons, I have modified the link to third rate instead.
