Career
Ordered on 4 January 1807, Castiglione was one of the ships built in the various shipyards that the First French Empire captured in Holland and Italy. The Empire used the shipyards in a crash programme to rebuild the French Navy.
The French surrendered Castiglione to Austria at the fall of Venice on 20 April 1814. An accidental fire on 14 September destroyed her.[1]

gollark: I did look into those. Spanning tree things are still complicated.
gollark: The rednet approach would be at least not too terrible as every skynet message is kind of a broadcast message.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: And as I said, I want people to be able to run their own skynet servers which still share messages with the main ones.
gollark: I would need separate geographically distributed servers. Skynet just runs off one which is about ten metres from me at home.
