USCGC Southwind
Thanks for your contribution to the USCGC Southwind article! I'm glad there are others out there who remember these old ladies and their contributions to naval history. Maxarre 17:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

HMS M30
Hi. I guess the title "HMS 30" of your article was a mistake? I have "moved" it (changed its title) to HMS M30, and will sort out any links which went to "HMS 30". Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:18, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi John. Correct. You were nanoseconds ahead of me as I went to rename it! Regards Paul.Pkoz (talk) 12:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry - should have minded my own business! There are now two links that are wrong, or at least unnecessary, in User:Welsh/HMS Links/10 - I'll leave them to you, as you maybe know him and I don't like to fiddle in other users' own pages. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Can you help
Hi, I'm writing an article on the Australian Wallaby captain Vay Wilson. My reliable source says He joined the British Navy during the war and was awarded the DSC for his action in the English Channel in a PT boat. I'm gathering from the links to boat classes that PT boats were just in the US Navy. Did the Royal Navy have them too in WWII ? - Sticks  66

Hi, The Royal Navy Coastal Forces built and used similar craft and referred to them as Motor Torpedo Boats or MTBs. Several PT boats were also transferred to the RN under Lend-Lease including MTB 269-274 (ex PT 10-19), MTB 307-326 (ex PT 49-68) MTB 419-423 (ex PT 88, 90, 92, 94), mostly prior to completion. Similar vessels were also designated Motor Gun Boats (MGBs). As he won the DSC, he was obviously an officer. You might be able to locate the citation details through the National Archives in the UK.

SS Königin Luise (1896)
Nice article! There is a way of creating a more compact infobox when a ship has been through multiple names and owners. See HMS Archer (D78) for an example. Mjroots (talk) 13:36, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
