Talk:HMS Florizel

Working on This Article
I am currently digging into this ship to see if it is worthy of an article. I have found some info, but am looking to verify with good sources.--Plmerry (talk) 04:00, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

I cleaned up the mess that was there. Still got more to add, but enough for today.--Plmerry (talk) 09:16, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Done for now. I have emails out for info on the Captain. He has a DSC and Royal order, so there should be information out there somewhere, one received while Captain of the Florizel. I also have emails out trying to get more info on the collision with HMS Charelstown and other service records. Florizel was MID (Mentioned in Dispatch) once for service of the north French coast; I am trying to find that info too. If anyone knows where to gather this info let me know.--Plmerry (talk) 02:05, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

BAM
BAM was used for 32 minesweeprs [|See Here] build by the US Navy for the UK under Lend Lease. The minesweepers were given temp hull numbers using BAM. The US kept 12 of these assigning them permanent AM hull number. The BAM ID is important for tracking the ships prior to delivery to the UK and after return by the UK to the US as no official US hull identification codes were issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plmerry (talk • contribs) 20:32, 22 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't see anysuch information in the section you linked to, however, I did find this showing B was prefixed to the hull number for Commonwealth bound vessels. I hadn't known about that.  (Besides, AM-26 would be the USS Rail).  Cheers, Gecko G (talk) 21:02, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
