Talk:HMS Corunna (D97)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have made the distinction that Corruna, along with sister ships Agincourt, Aisne, Alamein, Barrosa, Jutland, Dunkirk and Matapan were later, or 1943 Battle class ships because there were significant differences between these and the earlier 1942 ships, both in length and beam and also in armament.

[edit]

This section was removed on the basis that it is Trivia, and references a Deprecated Source. The Deprecated Source in question is 'The Scottish Sun', which is a major national newspaper in The UK. From a personal point of view I have a low opinion of this publication, and if I was looking for sources for a serious political peice I would hesitate to reference it. However this is not such a piece and there is no reason why the article in question should be attached as being unreliable. Furthermore, regardless of my, or anyone else's, opinion of the publication, it is not justifiable to dismiss all that it references as false. Doubtless it contains more truths than untruths. If that were not the case then the UK regulators would have shut it down. The episode in question is also available to view on BBC iPlayer, Netflix, and Youtube, so the accuracy of the reference can be easily verified from multiple sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulmichael1084 (talkcontribs) 08:20, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of the reliability of the source it's still trivia. I've removed it Lyndaship (talk) 08:26, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
