Class

[edit]

I notice the article is in (and links to) Template:Adams class gunboat, but the text opens by stating "USS Essex was an Enterprise-class wooden-hulled armed naval steam sloop of war". Does anyone know which is the correct name for the class? Dunarc (talk) 22:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would note that I have started a related relevant discussion at Template talk:Adams class gunboat where I have also noted that theUSS Nipsic's article says "in 1874 she was rebuilt as a new, and substantially larger, Adams/Enterprise-class gunboat" further muddying the issue of the name of the class.
