Gona Barracks and the six-inch gun reportedly from the HMAS Sydney
I have checked with the Qld Maritime Museum, who know nothing about this gun. They say the only six-inch gun they had came from the Cowan battery. So I have removed the reference to the QMM having the gun. But as they nothing of the gun in question, they could not help re the claim about coming from the HMAS Sydney. Not being a military history person, I don't really know where to go next to resolve this. Do you know where we might go? Kerry (talk) 04:17, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
- The only Sydney I guns I know of are the ones mentioned at HMAS_Sydney_(1912)#Decommissioning_and_fate: 2 at Rottnest Island, one at Thursday Island. The sources I have do not mention any other used main guns from Sydney 1, and no artifacts of any size except a liferaft from Sydney 2. Seeing as the Queensland Heritage Register is the source cited to this questionable claim (and you've already disproven the claim that "its at the QMM" is the incorrect), asking the relevant authority (the Queensland Heritage Council?) for the origin of the statement is the best way forward. Either they can provide the origin of the claim (which could be used to strengthen the Gona Barracks and other articles), or they can't (and they remove the incorrect information from their database, improving what they provide to the community). Failing that, the Royal Australian Navy's Naval Heritage Centre may be able to help. -- saberwyn 11:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Australian light destroyer project/Östergötland-class destroyer 'See also' sections (deleted).
Hi Saberwyn. I was planning to add more light destroyer types to the above sections, including those closer in time period to the respective programs. I am curious however, as to why you believe the DDLs and the Östergötlands have no connection what so ever. Not only were they both light destroyer types, but their original operational concepts were similar; in the case of the Östergötland class to help counter infiltration by Soviet underwater units including combat swimmers as well as to supplement existing destroyer classes such as the Halland and Öland. A major difference was that the DDL was intended to be the eventual basis for a family of naval vessels, while the goal of the Swedish Navy with the Östergötland class was for a cheap General Purpose combatant that could be built in large numbers. Both aims were to be ultimately frustrated; the DDL program by a combination of mission creep and political maneuvering while hopes for further Östergötlands were dashed by the, ah, interesting procurement politics in Sweden during the late 1950s and in particular the 1960s. This was despite the fact that the Östergötland class were arguably too austere.
On reflection, perhaps I should have called the section/s 'Ships of comparable era and/or role'. Ceannlann gorm (talk) 12:40, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/HMAS Mildura. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello saberwyn, thanks for the response. Regarding newspapers.com access, since you can't read the link I provided, I will add the links to my clippings page, where you should be able to see them (and link from them). It might take me a day or two to get around to it though. Gatoclass (talk) 08:11, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I clipped some stories, they are at this link. Be sure to sort them in chronological order. If you can't view them there, let me know and I'll try to figure something else out. Gatoclass (talk) 09:50, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

- Try this. BTW, all 19 clippings are related to Portmar - you should be able to sort them chronologically.

- @Iamarob63: I am curious and thank you for the offer, but if you send it to me directly, there is no easy way for me to add it to Misplaced Pages. I cannot easily upload photos on behalf of someone else. There are a number of legal hoops for me to jump through for me to upload a photo taken by someone else that hasn't been previously published (online or elsewhere). Instead, your best option is to join Wikimedia Commons (something you may already have thanks to unified logins across Wikimedia projects) and upload it there for use across all Misplaced Pages and related projects (an introduction and tutorial to Commons begins here). Alternately, sign up with an image-sharing service like Flickr and uploading the photo there with a compatible Creative Commons license (see here for a list of image licences compatible with Misplaced Pages projects). Please ask if you need any help with the signup or upload process. -- saberwyn 12:10, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

HMAS Tingira
Re the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Ships. Does Bastock really claim that Sobraon's maiden voyage started from Plymouth two months before she was launched in Aberdeen? See your edit here, citing Bastock for both. Davidships (talk) 01:10, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thats a source I do not have on hand. It will take me a week or two to verify. 20:34, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- No hurry - I'm just puzzled as to how writer and publisher could have something to obviously nonsensical. Ah, the frailties of RS. The real launch date was 17 April 1866 as per reputable newspapers. Davidships (talk) 23:57, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Davidships:. Bastock states "She was launched in 1866 and named Sobraon..." in relation to the launch (and never specifies a more specific date), and "Her maiden voyage, under Captain Kyle, began on 9 September 1866, and she arrived in Australia on 4 February 1867." regarding her first voyage (both p. 63). The "November" from the launch comes from the Aberdeen Built Ships website. I have no explanation for why the wrong month was given for the maiden voyage. My apologies for never catching the disconnect. -- saberwyn 21:37, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
