Talk:HMS Danae (F47)

Afterlife
The article states that the ship was "decommissioned from the RN in 1991 and sold to Ecuador, where she was renamed Morán Valverde." Presumably the ship replaced USS Enright (DE-216), which was sold to Ecuador and renamed as the Morán Valverde in the late 1970s. What happened to it after that? The article on the Ecuadorian armed forces has no mention of it. There's a photo here, on a BBS, but I can't read the language and can't tell when the picture was taken. Does it still exist, or was it struck off and scrapped? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Map
"returned to Devonport ... In 1974, Danae deployed to the Far East via South Africa, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf." That doesn't make sense on a map. A ship going from England to the Far East could go via South Africa (around the Cape of Good Hope), or it could go via the Suez Canal and Red Sea (but not in 1974; the canal was closed). It couldn't do both, not without an unexplained detour. Art LaPella (talk) 04:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
