The link to the explanation of British Naval Ranks has an extra space (%20) in it. But the destination site isn't a great one, anyway. Isn't there anything better?

Hmmm...This was the original link to '18th Century Naval ranks"...
Seems to explain the rank system pretty clearly...basically, in the Admiral ranks, if somene died you got an automatic promotion...Dead Man's shoes!

That is what the link is meant to be, but it isn't what the link is! There is an extra space in it.
