Talk:HMS Jamaica (44)

message: Two sentences should be edited: "... Communist invasion..." should be changed to "North Korean advance"; likewise "the Communist guns were silenced" should be phrased differently to preserve neutrality.
Any objections?

replies: text: Ridiculous, there is nothing that violates neutrality with those statements. A communist invasion is in fact what happened and "silencing enemy guns" is a phrase that has been used in naval warfare for centuries.--$1LENCE D00600D (talk) 02:58, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't know if this is a mistake but the USS Rochester (CA-124) (which operated closely with the Jamaica during the Korean war) is known as the "Gray Ghost of the Korean Coast". If you type that phrase into google or something, web pages calling the Rochester by that name will show up. Thought it should be mentioned, this is an encyclopedia afterall.--$1LENCE D00600D (talk) 03:02, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Good article. OK for B-class. In intro, added "The light cruiser" to sentence 2 to make it clear what type of cruiser it was. Fixed one intro sentence that made it sound like the NK army was cooperating with the USN. You may want to review these. Added a missing word in Further convoys section.

thread_title:  Non-free image problem 

message: I was reading "The World War II Encyclopedia" and came across a drawing of HMS Jamaica.  The Specs associated with the drawing said she had 12 6-inch guns, but the drawing showed only 9.  Thinking there had been some mistake I called up Wikipedia to determine if the drawing was mislabeled or the specifications were in error.  The photograph in this (Wikipedia) article matched the drawing, but the armament specifications mentions 4x3 6-inch guns.  It was not until I looked in the Crown Colony class article that mentions the X turret was removed from Jamaica.  I feel the HMS Jamaica article: 
A. Should mention this change
B. Should have a second set of dated armament specifications reflecting the change.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.59.158.128 (talk) 14:08, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

message: From my reading of Hitch-22, the quotation attributed to Eric Hitchens, "Sending a Nazi convoy raider to the bottom is a better day's work than any I have ever done", was something written by his son Christopher in response to what his Father had done, not something Eric Hitchens had said.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.157.175.215 (talk) 19:53, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
