This page's title is very misleading, as there was of course no "HMS Royal James" in 1658 - the name was changed to this in 1660. Technically, this should be entitled "Richard (1658)", but it might be easier to change the date in the present title from 1658 to 1660, as long as the article makes the situation clear.
