I just added what i think is definitive order and dates. I don't recall the ranks so can't comment on that. I added flying colours in the right place.  I think you had flying colours where happy return should have been. Will be visiting HMS Victory in a couple of weeks with my son. Closest i can think of for a pirate ship. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 19:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
