Titanic’s center propeller

Ive been researching and found out that the titanic most likely had a three bladed central propeller rather than the four bladed one that has been shown to have been installed on Olympic and Britannic. The10thNightguard (talk) 02:25, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add that with a citation to an independent reliable source. Unfortunately we do not allow claims based on original research and all claims of fact that are not obviously uncontroversial must be backed by an independent and reliable source that is properly cited. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Titanic's centre propeller was a four-blade propeller. Exactly the same as Britannic and Olympic. There are multiple (reliable) sources that confirm this. DarkLight753 (talk) 15:29, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to add Titanic's signal letters and Official Number to info box

Checked this page and noticed that Titanic's signal flag letters are not noted in the information box. Olympic's signal flags are noted on her page. Signal letters were issued by the Registrar General.

Titanic's signal letters were 'H-V-M-P':
^[1]

Note: Not to be confused with Titanic's radio callsign letters - MGY

The letters have been mentioned in many books and on many websites. I'm happy to provide more sources if necessary.

Also, Titanic's Official Number is 131428^[2]. Again, there are many more sources I can provide to verify this if need be. Specifically, the documents from her Board of Trade inspections.

Just wanted to know if anyone had thoughts about adding this information to the info box? DarkLight753 (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
