Talk:HMAS Hobart (D63)

I63
According to http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq69-2.htm, Hobart's pennant was I63. Should this article be renamed accoringly (i.e. HMAS Hobart (I63))?--J Clear 02:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hobart and her Australian sisters carried both I and D pennant numbers during their careers. As the D number roughly corresponds with their WW II service, this is the pennant used for the disambiguator. -- saberwyn 04:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Questionable
"the torpedo at one edge of the fan impacted against Hobart instead" Could you mean "at one edge of the fantail"? As much as I know about navies, I have never heard of the "fan" of a torpedo. On the other hand, some torpedoes were/are propelled by steam turbines, and others were propelled by small piston engines. Could the "fan" be the "turbine"? Also, during WW II, both the Americans and the Germans had torpedoes propelled by electric storage batteries and electric motors. These had the advantage of making no bubbles and little noise. Still, steam torpedoes were a lot more common in the fleets of the Americans, British, Japanese, Germans, Australians, Dutch, Italians, and Canadians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.215.180.7 (talk • contribs) 06:24, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The article seems correct to me. Unless I'm mistaken the term "fan" here seems to be referring to the pattern of a spread of torpedoes that were fired, the outer one of which struck Hobart. Anotherclown (talk) 10:04, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in HMAS Hobart (D63)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of HMAS Hobart (D63)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:56, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
