HMS Surprise or HMS Surprise,

I have read this phrase several times, and can't see the difference. The history shows that it originally said "Surprise or Surprize" which would have made sense.

Editing the "or" items to be identical seems like a rather poorly considered edit. 86.24.39.42 (talk) 23:47, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
