Talk:HMS Hercules (1910)

I think this page should be formatted in the RN template. I am too new to take this on yet, but if someone else did, I could have a go at filling in some more details. Fenton Robb 13:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Operation ZZ

At High Seas Fleet the count of German ships is reported as 11 battleships, 5 battlecruisers, 8 cruisers and 48t destroyers, however the numbers in Beatty's orders of 20th are 9 battleships, 5 battle cruiser, 7 light cruisers and 50 destroyers (Memorandum H.F. 0050/9, issued on 20 November 1918, by Admiral Sir David Beatty)] Hearsay evidence - two German destroyers failed to leave port.

This article is in pretty good shape.

• The displacement in the text and infobox doesn't match.
• probably worth specifying that the secondary guns were in single mounts
• After introducing BS as an abbreviation, suggest referring to 1st BS.
• suggest linking mobilisation
  • Excellent idea!
• link Home Fleet at first mention
  • Linked in the lede
• link dreadnought at 16 dreadnoughts
  • Isn't this covered in the link for dreadnought battleships in the lede? Or is this just different enough?
• the sentence beginning During this foray appears to be out of sequence
  • Moved earlier in the para, but I kinda think that it breaks the flow up a bit, what do you think?
    • I think it flows ok.
• Agincourt should probably be linked
  • Good catch.
• she was sold
• images are all appropriately licensed and captioned.

That's me done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:16, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

• I appreciate you looking this over. Let me know what you think of my changes.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:29, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
  • No prob. This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, and is illustrated by appropriately license images with appropriate captions. Passing. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:50, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

HE shell use at Jutland ?

"One of her high-explosive (HE) shells penetrated through the upper superstructure and caused minor splinter damage. The second HE shell burst on hitting the upper hull armour,.." ? She would have been firing armour-piercing, not HE at naval targets ? Rcbutcher (talk) 06:21, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
