Titling[edit]

In Royal Navy usage ships titles and names are not prefixed with 'The' as in 'The HMS Perseus', but use the form 'HMS Perseus'. The reason for this is apparent if the words are spelled out in their long-form, eg.

'The Her Majesty's Ship Perseus', clearly makes no grammatical sense, so this form is not used. Instead, with 'The' omitted we get

'Her Majesty's Ship Perseus'. Which makes perfect sense, grammatically.

This format may not always be applicable to vessels of other navies, eg 'the USS Enterprise'. Brian.Burnell 16:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Submarine Old Comrade's Association or Gatwick"[edit]

Last paragraph: "It was attended by relatives of the deceased (including John Capes' daughter), members of the Submarine Old Comrade's Association or Gatwick, locals who hid Capes, a member of the caique crew who transported Capes to Smyrne etc."

1. "or" should clearly be: of. 2. Searching the Submarine Old Comrade's Association website brings up no results for Gatwick. I'm presuming that it should be Gosport, home of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum. Unless anyone suggests otherwise, I intend to edit the article. 3. "Smyrne" should be: Smyrna.
