Talk:21-gun salute

message: This article seems to contradict itself - it implies the Queen's official birthday may co-incide with the Duke of Edinburgh's birthday, then defines the first as (1st sat after Jun 11) and the other as June 10th... 131.111.135.27 11:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering about  on this article. To what extent are 21 gun salute common military practice around the world? Is this article US/England centric because they are more widespread in those countries? —mako (talk•contribs) 19:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I can't comment on other countries, but Israel dors not use the gun salute. See reason and source under "other". I believe that using the Globalize template is neccesary here. DGtal (talk) 21:46, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, I tried to fix the issue stated at the top of the article about English-speaking POV by trying to separate general info relevant to everyone from country-specific info ("By country"), as well as trying to iron out inconsistencies with salute. The lead I tried to make as general as possible, though I know it looks a bit watered down. 
I think some kind of "sync" with salute and salute state needs to happen, though I'd have no idea how to go about it.
Thanks,

message: Veterans in the US routinely get 21 gun salutes (7x3 rifle volleys).  I'm surprised there's no mention here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.191.6 (talk) 03:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A common misconception: those aren't 'gun salutes' -- gun salutes are fired by cannons, not rifles. What you are referring to are provided by a 'firing party' not a battery. Ryecatcher773 (talk) 04:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I am skeptical of the introductory information without a cite: "The custom stems from naval tradition, where a warship would fire its cannons harmlessly out to sea, until all ammunition was spent, to show that it was disarmed, signifying the lack of hostile intent." I do not have any particular knowledge of this history, but it seems ludicrous that a ship would waste all its ammunition at great expense, leaving itself completely defenseless, merely as a gesture to show no hostile intent. Further, what is to stop a ship from appearing to do so but holding ammunition in reserve to launch a surprise attack? The whole idea doesn't seem to pass the sanity check.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 6StringJazzer (talk • contribs) 16:32, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
