Talk:HMS Phoebe (43)

Anchor
I'm a bit suspicious of the 'Belfast' picture and the Imperial War Museum wording. How can a ship of her size 'come alongside' with an anchor dropped? The King and Queen might be coming ashore, but the cruiser is some way off the harbour side and there is what looks like an anchor chain disappearing into the water (on the Port bow). I think the IWM were a bit economic with the truth on this one. The caption might be better as something like: 'The King and Queen leaving Phoebe in Belfast harbour in 1942'.

What do other editors think?

 * Since both anchors are visible, claiming that one is dropped is so much nonsense. You can see the side of the off-side anchor right across from the nearside one. 85.229.60.74 (talk) 15:24, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
