The WWI section needs a lot of help. I'm too lazy, and American to fix it. However, the whole thing about "they remained in the harbour thereafter" makes no sense. I don't know the history. What harbor are we talking about? What was the significance of it? --drew1718 11:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the caption to the photgraph. The dreadnoughts on the right are easily identified as belonging to the 'Bellerophon' and 'St Vincent' classes by the twin tripod masts [1]. Since there are four ships visible, the photograph was taken subsequent to the completion of HMS St Vincent in June 1909; and almost certainly at the Spithead Review of July 1909 (Fleet Review, Royal Navy).

WWII - Hood and Royal York

Removed the little blurb about the destruction of the hood, mostly becuase it read like it was poorly written. Feel free to add this in the future...72.141.35.80 03:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Hood is referred to as the 'pride of the navy' here but this term is not found on the wikipedia page for the HMS Hood. The wikipedia page for HMS Hood seems to indicate that HMS Hood was old, in poor condition, and out of date by the second world war. I would have thought the King George V class battleships were the pride of the navy at the time of the sinking of HMS Hood since they were quite new (although the term 'pride of the navy' is also not found in the article for the King George V class battleships). However, the King George V class article does not have the lengthy discussion of faults that can be found on the page for HMS Hood. Mattbondy (talk)
