Talk:HMS Glamorgan (D19)

Motto
I Fyny Bo'r Nod (Welsh - I Give Way To None)

The English is not a translation of the Welsh (which means somthing like "onward and upward"). Is it supposed to be or did the ship have separate mottoes? Flapdragon 19:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Exocet attacks
She twice survived unsuccessul Exocet attacks.

Given the Argentines had only five air launched Exocets, one of which hit Sheffield and two being used on Atlantic Conveyor, I find it unlikely both of the remaining pair happened to be used on Glamorgan! Toby Douglass 13:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The Air Launched Exocets were the AM39 variant, of which the original contract with the French government was for 14 AM39 Exocets and 14 Super Etendard Aircraft. Only 5 of each were delivered before the arms embargo in early 1982. The Exocet that hit Glamorgan was an MM38 Variant which was housed in a canister and was probably removed from some of their warships. Eight of these were removed from the Argentine ships and flown to the Falklands. They were mounted in pairs on an improvised mobile launcher, as the text states. I agree the text needs to calrify this. Aquizard 23:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I have undertaken a few edits to improve the accuracy of this section on the exocet attack from the land based improvised launcher. Infact another 6 MM38 exocet missiles were delivered to the islands for use. Aquizard 17:45, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

One exocet hit Glamorgan, according to my father who heard a story when he served on her (after the war), the missile was actually intercepted, so instead of hitting the centre of the ship, it hit well aft, obviously it cannot be referenced, but there must be some account somewhere.

MM40
Following discussions with a crew member who was onboard Glamorgan during the Falklands conflict, he has confirmed that the ship was loaded in late 1981, with 4 MM40 Exocet missiles not the MM38 as previously stated. Aquizard 09:33, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

ITB translation
"Berreta" in Buenos Aires' slang or lunfardo means "vulgar", "tasteless" or "trashy". A user made an edit where he claims that the "literal translation" of "Berreta" is "pistol shot". As a non- native speaker of English maybe I was missing something like a colloquialism or a local variant of English, but searching on google I was unable to find anything different than a person pulling the trigger of a pistol. Therefore I've removed the statement.--Darius (talk) 02:34, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Vandalims and illega blocking of wiki editor Robert Frederick Fancourt Miles BA- Victoria, Wgtn, NZ BCom, BA(hons), Ma(Hons)- University of Canterbury by Material Scientist
Much of many of the wiki cold war articles on the RNZN and RN ships is written by me, nb Tiger,County GMD Minotaur, Superb/ Swiftsure, T21, Royalist ect and contributions and also many NZR locomotive sites and some US contribution, nb ree US Scorpion and possiblities of Soviet sub involvement and probability of it being hit by USN MK 37 or similar Soviet torpedo- because they could, and you don't know, would be my reply to Pravda. Having secured the ability to intercept usn communications in real time, they illustrated their capabilities. In terms of HMS Glamorgan my basic thesis is all its weapons are essentially useless, Seaslug, Seacat, Mk 6 4.5 etc and also the Bristish a/s torpedoes. Its armament is political to pretend that the UK is still capable of high tech missile development and boost export sales. The outdated gun rather than the developed auto 4 or twin 3 icn or L70 is to impress the public is the UK/RN is past supposedly obsolete guns. So my critique is not much different from comic actor Peter Cooks or Conrelli Barnetti- a nation in declien prefers a shadow force, strut and the illusion of supposed nuclear deterence. My articles were written anon at Epsom, Remuera, Parnell, Welligton Library( were their blocked- the location is next to Wellinton Central Police)and national library and any other sites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.48.175.44 (talk) 04:51, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
