Talk:HMS Medway (1928)

Roskill's books the war at sea
Stephen Roskill's 3 volumes the war at sea which I read 25 years ago (or more) mentions Medway's sinking describing her as "an extremely valuable ship." From memory, only HMS Ark Royal (91)'s loss was similarly described. I assume this referred to her disproportionately effective fighting value rather than cost. JRPG (talk) 20:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd like to point out, WP:NOTAFORUM. That said, I haven't read that series of books so I couldn't speak to that. Certainly, submarine tenders have utility. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Many thanks Chris, I'm familiar with talk page rules though I don't feel I have enough knowledge to edit a submarine related article. I did however think it appropriate to draw attention to the dated but arguably still the main RN WW2 source available in the UK, noting it hasn't been used. I had hoped this would be helpful.

 * Roskill usually doesn't mention ships by name other than battleships and carriers so he's not a source that I normally use for ship articles, especially since I don't have full access. That said, I'd be happy to see somebody throw in a comment how Medway's loss adversely affected the sub campaign in the Med.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
