Conflict with the HMNB Devonport article
The HMNB Devonport article states:
It is the largest naval base in the European Union and Western Europe.
This article states that HMNB Portsmouth is the largest base of the British Royal Navy. Doonhamer 02:57, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Article intention
is this article about the history of the naval base or the Historic Dockyard tourist attraction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.99.176 (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- According to [1] the heritage area is part of the naval base. CS46 20:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Bases within HMNB Portsmouth
I can find no evidence that HMS Collingwood, HMS Dryad, HMS Dolphin, HMS Daedalus or Haslar Royal Military Hospital are, or ever were, considered part of HMNB Portsmouth. Can anyone find a reference? CS46 20:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- You won't find any because they aren't and never were. Each site listed was totally independent from the Naval Base, which for most of the period during which the sites existed was a Royal Dockyard. The confusion arises partly because people misunderstand that the Naval Base isn't part of the Royal Navy command structure (it's part of the Defence Equipment & Support organisation), even though significant parts of the RN Command were however accommodated with the Naval Base site --Ralabaf (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
