 * "updated links"...? All you did was remove stuff, (and still didn't add any sources). Also, if "updating" instead of restoring, why revert? Lastly, I started a discussion at milhist on this, you were and are welcome to join. -  w o lf  03:15, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Size of navy in 1939
I had doubts about the claim on this page that in 1939 the navy had 1400 vessels. Looking at the navy lists for Sept 1939, page 249, which is on pdf page 283, at https://deriv.nls.uk/dcn23/9271/92714949.23.pdf I can count Battleships 12 Battle Cruises 3 Cruisers 61 Anti-aircraft ships 4 Aircraft carriers 7 Seaplane carriers 2 Flotilla leaders 17 Destroyers 162 Minelayers 11 Escort vessels 36 Patrol vessels 7 Minesweepers 43 Submarines 59 Surveying ships 10 River gunboats 20 Tugs 11 Trawlers 54 Drifters 21 Seagoing Depot ships 10 Netlayers 2 Yacht 1 Misc small craft 8 Motor topedo boats 25 Repair ship 1 TOTAL: 358 Destroyer or larger plus submarines Total of all: 617 I don't know about other navies since I know nothing about this topic. Does this still make it the largest? I am reluctant to mess with the page without more context but the 1400 number seems to be way off. Summerdoor (talk) 08:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
