Talk:HMS Egmont

Fort St Angelo
I read in the Lonely Planet guide that HMS Egmont was the naval name of Fort St Angelo in Malta from 1912 to 1933 when the fort became HMS St Angelo. I found strange that a land fortress would be labeled HMS so I looked for references and found that HMS Achilles was used as a depot ship at Malta, so maybe the official name for the Malta HQ was HMS Egmont but business was actually carried from the Fort. Or maybe the official name for the fort was HMS Egmont. Page 242 of Naval Review, 1962, includes a letter purporting to correct erroneous information about this but Google Books only offers fragments. Can you confirm or deny? --Error (talk) 02:34, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
