# Talk:HMS Empress of India

D.K. Brown give notes on the Lyme Bay practice shoot & the statement that the outcome was swift or surprising seems rather contrary to the details; the ship was hit by 95+ shells, of which 44 were modern 12 inch or 13.5 inch common. After such a pasting the ship is noted as "blazing furiously", yet still took 1 hr 45 minto sink!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.75.48.5 (talk) 11:44, 13 May 2011 (UTC) 

Thanks.  I have checked Burt, Brown and the diving website, and rewritten the section.
I am not sure whether I should have mentioned that the diagram in Brown showed her 13.5-in guns present, and the diving site says they are not present in the wreck now; the inference being that they must have been removed in salvage - the inference being that they must have been removed during salvage - I would like a source to specifically state that the 13.5-in guns were salvaged.--Toddy1 (talk) 10:25, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Do dupe links, licenses check out
You might clarify in the box that the displacement given is standard, not full load
Seems a little odd to go back and forth between describing Empress of India's characteristics and that of the class (i.e., "her" vs. "their")
Yeah, I've recently been moving more to a generic description for the description to make it easier to copy over to the other ships of the class.
Gun turrets? The Royal Sovereigns carried their guns in barbette mounts (save Hood, of course)
Good catch.
Should "International Squadron" be capitalized?
It does refer to a specific organization, so I think it's a proper noun.
The last paragraph of the Construction and career section needs a citation.
"A big hole extant in her side..." - extant seems redundant here.
Think I've gotten all of these, see if anything doesn't suit. Thanks for reviewing this.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:37, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
