Talk:Japanese aircraft carrier Sōryū

Revisions
I've made some revisions which all use the book "Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway" (Parshall and Tully, 2005) as a source. By all appearances it is a very carefully-researched work. Design: p.9. The bombing: p.251. Crew and casualty figures: pp.336, 470. Scuttling: pp.331-336. The captain's surname was corrected; the Japanese style is surname-first, so Yanagimoto Ryusaku's "last" or "family" name was Yanagimoto, not Ryusaku. "5-inch(100mm) guns" was revised because 5 inches is more like 120mm. The 5-inch guns were dual-purpose (anti-aircraft or artillery) and the 25mm guns were AA. --Shyland 21:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Anime References
The anime references are just silly. Can't the anime articles just reference the Soryu article? ThreeE (talk) 03:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

The lead is misleading.
The ship did not sink with casualties of 2/3 of the crew; they were casualties, mostly, before the sinking. The ship took considerable casualties and considerable damage in attack, but was still afloat and, aside from her location, probably salvageable when sank. The lead implies that the IJN sank her with a goodly chunk of crew aboard.

Also, I'd say this is, at best, at the far edge of what "scuttle" can mean. Anmccaff (talk) 17:09, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
