[edit] POV
There's a lot of POV-ish writing in here. We need to replace emotive statements like "he threw away destruction of the French Fleet", "he prevented one of England's most prominent and capable sea commander from utterly destroying the French Fleet", "completely smashing the French Fleet to splinters", etc. There are more encyclopedic ways to write these things. Lord Cochrane obviously has a lot of fans, but we need to cite independant authority to make statements like, 'Gambier's "old-boy" stature was enough that he was acquitted'. 70.20.136.170 20:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
