Re: Prince Royal (1610)
Thanks Aaron. I think 1641 is the most likely date too. The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, has an image online you might be interested in: BHC0276. It is the Battle of the Gabbard by Heerman Witmont. A Dutch and English ship are in action in the foreground. According to the museum's descriptio...

Prince Royal (1610)
Prince Royal (renamed Resolution under the Commonwealth) was orginally rigged with four masts but appears to have definitely had three by the time of the First Dutch War (1652-1654). I cannot see any specific reference to the date of rerigging in the usual sources for this period. The ship was rebu...

Re: U.S. Navy Annual Reports
Thanks Andreas. So the form and content of reporting developed gradually over time. It is first called the 'annual report' of the secretary in 1825 (U.S. Naval History and Heritage site).

U.S. Navy Annual Reports
When did the Secretary of the U.S. Navy first make an annual report to the President and Congress? On the Naval History and Heritage site of the U.S. Navy it appears to be 1821. The title was then Condition and Expenses of the Navy.

Re: frigate KOLA
Unfortunately Daly is not always reliable. I have found various mistakes, including misleading citations, in his book. It is a pity given his wide-ranging research.

First Battle of Stromboli
Ted Sozaev is asking on the Voyforums website for the composition of the Spanish fleet at the First Battle of Stromboli off Messina on 11 February 1675. Details were posted on that site some time ago. Ted had a copy but lost it due to a problem with his computer.

H.M.S. Caledonia (1808)
Modern references normally say Caledonia was ordered on 6 November 1794 as a 100-gun ship and redesigned as 120 guns in 1806 while under construction (e.g. Rif Winfield, British Warships ... 1817-1863 , p. 8). The caption on an early plan of Caledonia at the National Maritime Museum Greenwich (objec...
