# Talk:HMS Renown (1895)

I don't want to clutter the GA review so I'll pose this question here.  Does Burt actually say that Fisher was "Commander-in-Chief" at the Fleet Review?  If so, he's wrong.  The Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth, Admiral Sir Nowell Salmon, flew his flag in the Renown.  Fisher was still Third Sea Lord and Controller of the Navy at the time.
Also, there wasn't a "Channel Fleet" until 1903.  Prior to then it was the Channel Squadron. —Simon Harley (Talk | Library). 09:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing these out, Simon. Burt says "served as Flagship, CinC (Vice-Admiral J. A. Fisher)) at Spithead... He also refers to the ship temporarily attached to "1st Division, Channel Fleet" the following month. I'll change Fisher to Salmon.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

The new image is sandwiching the text which is forbidden by MOS.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:56, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Unnecessarily combative edit summary as well. —Simon Harley (Talk). 13:33, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
