A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on May 6, 2013, May 6, 2017, May 6, 2019, and May 6, 2022.

I did the references using the harv system (short refs are harvnb, meaning no brackets). One sentence in Background was confusing. It includes quotation marks, so I assume the text in quotes was taken from Cordingly 2007, but no page number was given. The sentence is this: Gamo had "22 long 12-pounders, 8 9-pounders and 2 heavy carronades".[3] Ref 3 has no page number. Perhaps someone could find this quote from that source and add the page number to the short ref? -- Prairieplant ( talk) 09:26, 6 May 2019 (UTC) reply
