Talk:HMS Magpie (U82)

I would have thought that Magpie would also have carried depth charges? The Black Swan page references 40 depth charges. Also she participated in the sinking of three submarines. I've added "Depth Charges" but has anyone more exact information? Jim Whitaker (talk) 11:23, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

I would have expected that by 1959, when Magpie was scrapped, the Royal family could have afforded to preserve her for Prince Phillip, who liked her better than the royal yacht. Magpie could have found some reserve and coastal patrol roll while serving part time with Philip, with a combination of coast guard and royal funding and duties. I doubt she was beyond repair and adaptation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.200.114 (talk) 00:35, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Amethyst article compares poorly
Excellent article; I wonder why her far more famous sister ship's entry isn't anywhere near as extensive as Magpie's? Little grape (talk) 17:49, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
