Name

[edit]

The navy and RFA call them Bay class landing ships. Other news sources generally use this term as well, or occasionally 'Bay class amphibious landing ships'. Reuters goes a little further with 'Bay Class heavy amphibious lift vessel'. While Landing Platform Dock ships is seen sometimes, that source even refers to the Bays specifically as 'Bay Class amphibious support ships'. Given the more common name, any objection to this being 'Bay class landing ship' instead? Benea (talk) 11:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

[edit]

There's a really nice photo of Largs here - but I'm not sure whether it's available under the OGL, they seem to be tightening up on that for defence images at least. Being from up and behind, it really gives a sense of the purpose of the Bays. The next best one I've found that is definitely OGL is of Lyme Bay - search http://www.defenceimagery.mod.uk/ for 45150928.jpg if someone wants to do the honours? 86.25.7.71 (talk) 16:30, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Bay class landing ship

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bay class landing ship's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 20:41, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
