Talk:HMS Campania (1914)

Untitled

There seems to be some discrepancies here with the official Board of Enquiry, a copy of which I have with me. The enquiry, held upon HMS Repulse and concluding on 12 November 1918, reported that:

• Campania struck first HMS Royal Oak (HMS Revenge is not mentioned at all in the official report), pushed her into Glorious, and then swung along Glorious's port side.
• The squall began at 03:30; Campania seems to have dragged her anchor very shortly after, as at 03:55 she made urgent signals for assistance.
• Campania sunk at 08:35, approximately five hours after the initial collision.

I have underlined the major discrepancies with the article in its present state. I'll note that Royal Oak was a Revenge-class battleship, which may be the source of reports saying that Campania was the Revenge. Perhaps we can discuss the reliability of sources here. — BillC ^talk 00:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bill - great to hear from you. Feel free to edit as feel best. I put the article together while tracing down my great uncle, who served on the Campania in the RNAS. If you have further information /corrections please go ahead, I'm not expert, I drew together the sources from various internet sites. regards, Mark --mgaved 22:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Any idea why she wasn't renamed? Trekphiler (talk) 14:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Pre-GAN questions

• Images: the link for the second image is currently here. It's labeled an "official photograph" with a date of 1918; someone correct me if I'm wrong, but since this is before 1957, I think the Crown Copyright has expired so we're okay. The first image lists this as the source, but I don't see the image on that page; a little help? - Dank (push to talk) 16:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• I hadn't bothered to check, but it's an Imperial War Museum photo. I've updated the licence info.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:58, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• Would it be okay to toss this clause? "but the inboard end of the flight deck had to be dismounted to get them onto the flight deck". - Dank (push to talk) 20:43, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• Only issue is that the hold was underneath the flight deck and it had to be lifted off to access the airplanes. But if you can rephrase, or break it out into a separate sentence feel free.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:49, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• Okay I used your answer. - Dank (push to talk) 21:41, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• I have a slight preference for this if you think it's accurate: "and the close call in a favourable wind demonstrated that heavier aircraft could not be launched from the flight deck". - Dank (push to talk) 21:08, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• Works for me.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
