Attacked and damaged the Sea Porpoise?[edit]

Should this not be included? The entry for Woodie Guthrie states this:

His last ship, Sea Porpoise, took troops from the United States to England and France for the D-Day invasion. Guthrie was aboard when the ship was torpedoed off Utah Beach by the German submarine U-390 on July 5, 1944, injuring 12 of the crew. Guthrie was unhurt and the ship stayed afloat; it returned to England, where it was repaired at Newcastle. Tupelo the typo fixer (talk) 16:29, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If my words had to be deleted because of being unsourced, then shouldn't the Woodie Guthrie entry also be fixed for the very same reason? This was how I learned of the incident that you don't want published. I have been waiting to see you fix THAT. Or do you only object to MY edits?

The addition was unsourced - the source quoted in the Woodie Guthrie article does not mention U-390 or Guthrie. Wikipedia pages are not (or should not be) repositories for unsourced information.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:32, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
