	Third-rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This is one of six ratings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th) in the rating system of the Royal Navy.
		When the rating system was first established, in the 1670s, the third rate was defined as 70 guns, with second-rates having 90 guns, and fourth-rates 54-60 guns.
		By the end of the 18th century, the rating system had mostly fallen out of common use, ships of the line usually being characterized directly by their number of guns, the numbers even being used as the name of the type, as in "a squadron of three 74s".

	Fourth-rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though used largely during the Seven Years' War, by the time of the American Revolution and especially the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the fourth rate was considered too weak to stand in the line of battle.
		Some fourth rates did remain in active service even during the Napoleonic Wars, especially in the shallow North Sea, where the Royal Navy's main opponents were the Baltic powers and the Dutch, whose own fleet consisted mainly of 50 and 64 gun ships.
		As late as 1807, fourth rates were active in combat zones, illustrated by the fatal incident between HMS Leopard, 50 guns, and the US frigate Chesapeake, 38 guns, which almost precipitated the War of 1812 five years early!

		The jobless rate for managerial and professional workers, 2.1 percent in late 1987, was the lowest rate among all major occupational groups.

		By "real short rates close to zero," Greenspan means the difference between a short-term interest rate such as the overnight federal funds rate, 3.0 percent on February 4, and the current rate of inflation, 1.9 percent for the three months ending January 1994.
		If this rate is, say, 2.5 percent, and inflation is 2 percent, then such a rule would indicate a target level of 4.5 percent for nominal interest rates.
		It is merely the rate of interest which will preserve the status quo; and, in general, we have no predominant interest in the status quo as such.
