Talk:SS West Nohno

IMO number
Did this ship really have an IMO number? I thought they weren't introduced until the late 1960s. Mjroots (talk) 13:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Looking at the Miramar website cited, I see I've misinterpreted the number they list there. What they have listed is the American "Official number" with a "2" prefix. So, West Nohno should be listed as Official number 217936. I've made the change and will go and fix other articles I've written where I've made the same mistake. — Bellhalla (talk) 14:21, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Gooseberry?
What's a "gooseberry"? Can we link that?

Were gooseberries any and all of the ships involved in the scuttled breakwaters? Was it broader than this? Narrower? Were any gooseberries made of concrete and built specifically for the task? What's the difference between a gooseberry and a corn cob? A gooseberry and a mulberry? As this is the major part of West Nohno's historical significance, there should be scope for an article on Gooseberry (Operation Neptune) itself, or at least a redirect. 11:56, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
