Radio call sign[edit]

The info box says her call sign was MBZ. The text has it as MVN, the latter being referenced. Can anyone establish which is correct please? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 11:27, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect its MBZ. MVN looks like a cut and paste error from the previous article Motacilla edited RMS Victorian Lyndaship (talk) 11:37, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks likely, can @Motacilla: confirm one way or the other? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 12:58, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for asking. You are correct: Amazon's call sign was MBZ.

While I am here, please do not change the perfectly correct "Sunk by torpedo" to "Torpedoed and sunk". I know the latter is widely used on Wikipedia, but turning "torpedo" from a noun to a verb makes the torpedoing and sinking sound like two events linked by nothing more than the fact that one happened after the other. If a torpedo sinks a ship, it is correct to say so. Thankyou. Motacilla (talk) 19:34, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
