	Third-rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		This is one of six ratings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th) in the rating system of the Royal Navy.
		Although the rating system was only used by the Royal Navy, British authors might still use "third-rate" to speak of a French 74.

	Fourth-rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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!
		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.

	TAP: Vol 5, Iss. 18. Self-Fulfilling Prophets. James K. Galbraith.
		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.
		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.
		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.

	Rental Market and Economic Update – March 2003 - NAA
		Sluggish economic and employment growth brought drops in the rental apartment vacancy rate in the fourth quarter. The rental apartment vacancy rate rose slightly to 10.5 percent in the fourth quarter from 10.4 percent in the third quarter according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The change is not statistically significant.
		Revised fourth quarter inflation adjusted GDP rose at a 1.4 percent annual rate from the initial 0.7 percent annual rate.
		The unemployment rate for construction workers remained at 14.0 percent in February. There was a change beginning in January in the data series by the U.S. Department of Labor and the construction worker series is no longer seasonally adjusted. Thus comparisons from one month to the next are less valid.

	The Ranking System for Reviews
		Fourth Rate ships, although possibly belonging in the line-of-battle, were better used for heavy back-up, or flagship duties, on foreign stations or cruisings missions.
		"Fourth Rate" philosophical ranking will be for those works that, in the editorial judgment of the Proceedings of the Friesian School, may make a significant contribution to the progress of philosophy on particular issues but, however, contain some major flaw or drawback.
		Fifth and sixth rate philosophy, on our naval metaphor, are outside the line of battle (as ships, they are not even commanded by a Captain, just by a Commander, or even a Lieutenant Commander--like destroyers and submarines in World War II), which means that they do not make a permanent contribution to philosophy.
