Talk:HMS Glorious

Survivors
I edited this bit for tidyness, but the original article was ambiguous as to whether there were 45 survivors from the Glorious altogether, or from the three RN vessels altogether, or from the RAF complement of Glorious. If anyone knows and wishes to tidy up... Steve Roberts 23:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

(comment) The number of survivors is not easy to establish simply because some may have survived a few days, some a few weeks, so whether or not they are counted is a matter of opinion.

Battle
Does her final battle have a name? Does it deserve its own article? More men died here than in the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Drutt (talk) 01:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it probably does deserve its own article. Of course, what to call it is a bit problematic.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

The article leaves obvious questions unanswered about the Battle. When sighting the enemy, any naval ship sends a sighting report, for obvious reasons. Was one sent? and if so, what happened? Also, the rather large number of casualties and the fact that no search was carried out is perhaps worthy of a mention. Information on this aspect from eyewitnesses was included in this article but has been deleted for some reason. :) Historikeren (talk) 14:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Glorious sent contact reports on the wrong frequencies so that only Devonshire and the Germans heard her. The former was not allowed to transmit because she was carrying the Norwegian Royal Family to Britain. I didn't cover this because it's more relevant to the battle than the ship itself. Once I get the book on the carrier I'll have something useful enough to use as a source for the fate of the survivors.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:49, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Extra references
My addition of these two has just been reverted by User:Jim Sweeney. Perhaps I added them in the wrong place or wrong format, but it seems to me that one or both should be referenced in the article: Snori (talk) 18:19, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * "The Loss of HMS Glorious", An Analysis of the Action, Vernon W. Howland Captain, RCN (Retd.)
 * Carrier Glorious: The Life and Death of an Aircraft Carrier, Cassell Military Paperbacks, John Winton
 * The Howland article already is cited. Carrier Glorious should be relegated to a Further reading section as it's not cited in the article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:46, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually, 'Carrier Glorious' is cited in at least three places in the article :) Historikeren (talk) 20:23, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

There Are Only Two 'Courageous'-Class Light Battle Cruisers
Hey!

Although Furious was also a Light Battle Cruiser, she was not a member of the Courageous-Class. She might be said to be a near-sister or cousin, but she is not a member of the class, nor was she considered as such contemporaneously.

There are only two members of the Courageous-Class, Courageous and Glorious. Furious, their immediate predecessor, belongs to her own class.
