Battleship Bismarck
Hey,, I got this Bismarck book to check the name of Alan Garydon, which I wondered might have been Graydon, and I'm not finding this incident on pages 62-63. Pages 62-63 are in a chapter called Sea Trials and Battle Practice. Do you have the copy you were using available, or remember what chapter it might have been in? The one I have has a publication date of 1990 and says 'New and Expanded Edition.' I tried looking in the index but don't see any mention of the three men. --valereee (talk) 12:36, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The book I cite has ISBN 978-1-61251-294-5; I assume the book you cite has ISBN 978-0-87021-096-9. Both books are titled the same, and are by the same author, but the book I cite is from 2012, whereas the other book is from 1980. This is the book I cite; is this the book you have? I have to admit I did make a glaring error in the book cite template, I have fixed it now. L293D (☎ • ✎) 01:53, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * lol, the one I have is ISBN 0-87021-027-0 which is this from 1990. So I guess this incident must have been something completely new added into a much later addition! At any rate, the name Garydon isn't a typo, or at least not our typo? If you have the book in hand, can you tell what he's using for sources for that detail? --valereee (talk) 08:42, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I just realized Alan Garydon isn't mentioned in Bismark, I've removed his name. I checked my other sources, but I don't see where that name came from. Hope that settles this. L293D (☎ • ✎) 13:35, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Bummer! I hate it when that happens! --valereee (talk) 15:06, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
