Campbeltown

Is there any evidence this inspired the Campbeltown raid? Trekphiler 10:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vindictive picture in wrong article!

The picture of the wreck of the Vindictive has no business here. Vindictive was sunk in the Second Ostend Raid and the picture should be transferred to that article. The only portion of the picture which applies to Zeebrugge is the small shot of the memorial in the upper left-hand corner. The caption is specific that the memorial is at Zeebrugge and the Vindictive wreck at Ostend. Cenedi (talk) 11:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Research source

The Times of 20 February 1919 carried the Admiralty report into the raid. Would be an excellent source to expand this article with. Available online but a susbscription is required. Possibly accessible to any UK editor with a library card (definitely available with Kent library card via link on my user page). Mjroots (talk) 06:57, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By "Admiralty report" do you mean Keyes's despatch, which presumably is also available from the London Gazette? --Simon Harley (Talk | Library). 07:50, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Report is by Vice-Admiral Sir Roger Keyes, the London Gazette of 18 February 1919 is mentioned, so presumably the report appears there too. AFAIK, that source is freely available on the internet. Mjroots (talk) 08:51, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

HMS North Star

HMS North Star, an Admiralty M class destroyer, was sunk by shell fire.
