Talk:Military history of Barbados

message: I heavily doubt the following. So I removed it. A military command composed of 1/4 the country ? really ?
"Today as a fully independent country, Barbados posses a moderate sized military command comprised of around 20-25% of the country's population."200.108.27.197 21:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I attempted to find this ship in the Main Articles of ships named HMS Cornwallis. The latest ship was a Pre-dreadnought type battleship that was sunk by a Imperial German U-Boat in 1917 long before the 1942 date listed in the History section of Barbados. Its possible that the ship somehow vanished from General Wiki articles Magnum Serpentine (talk) 22:39, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In the A~Z of Barbados Heritage (Under "Wrecks") I have "Divers and snorkellers can also explore a large section of the hull of the Canadian maritime freighter Cornwallis which was relocated to the proposed Carlisle Bay Marine Park in October 2000.  The Cornwallis which was torpedoed in Carlisle Bay by the German U-Boat U-514 on 11 September 1942, was repaired but was once again torpedoed and finally sunk off the Maine coast in 1944 with the loss of five crewmen."  Perhaps it is mixed up with the French Berwyn (of 1916)?  CaribDigita (talk)
Perhaps it is badly confused with the sinking of STAVRONIKITA, off Fitts Village on the West Coast of the island, which was indeed intentionally sunk in Nov. of 1979 (I was there for that sinking,conducted by a U.S.Navy demolition team).
Cornwallis was hit by a torpedo or two in Carlisle Bay, and she went a-wallow, she was refloated, temporarily patched, and towed to the Swan Hunter shipyard in Chaguaramas, Trinidad, where she was repaired and then returned to active service.
She was indeed SUNK, fer real, later in the war, but she was not sunk in carlisle bay and no part of her remains, although the propeller and engine section of one of the torpedoes that hit her remains in the Barbados Museum.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.236.2.203 (talk) 23:40, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
