The WWI section needs a lot of help. I'm too lazy, and American to fix it. However, the whole thing about "they remained in the harbour thereafter" makes no sense. I don't know the history. What harbor are we talking about? What was the significance of it? --drew1718 11:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

I have changed the caption to the photgraph. The dreadnoughts on the right are easily identified as belonging to the 'Bellerophon' and 'St Vincent' classes by the twin tripod masts [1]. Since there are four ships visible, the photograph was taken subsequent to the completion of HMS St Vincent in June 1909; and almost certainly at the Spithead Review of July 1909 (Fleet Review, Royal Navy).

[edit] WWII - Hood and Royal York

• Removed the little blurb about the destruction of the hood, mostly becuase it read like it was poorly written. Feel free to add this in the future...72.141.35.80 03:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
