Name

Editted the "HHMS Lemnos" section, to clarify that USS Mississippi BB23 became HHMS Kilkis, and USS Idaho BB24 became HHMS Lemnos. Ref: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-fornv/greece/grksh-hl/kilkis.htm http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-fornv/greece/grksh-hl/lemnos.htm

Minor point, but might as well be accurate.

The article says She departed Philadelphia November 1 for a fleet rendezvous at Gravesend Bay, England, on November 16, and then sailed December 7 for Brest, France, arriving on November 9.

How did she sail December 7 for Brest, France but arrived there November 9? Surely it didn't take 11 months to get there and surely she didn't arrive a month before she set sail.

So if anyone knows the correct dates, please fix. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 23:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
