Talk:SS Timothy Bloodworth

message: Was it a V-rocket hit on a port or - what could it be ? I suspect that by December 1944 the Germans already lost all air-to-ship capabilities. NVO (talk) 20:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

message: It is not clear what the Memorial section adds. This vessel was not built in Oregon, and a description of the memorial park would be more apropos in an article on the park, rather than in each article on a Liberty ship.  A separate article on the park, linked here to a simple statement that this vessel's bow is buried there, would be a better way to handle it.  Kablammo (talk) 20:15, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems the park has fallen victim to development.  Kablammo (talk) 20:57, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have deleted the section entitled Official number and code letters as the infobox now contains that information, and the data seemed too specialized to need repetition in the text.  Kablammo (talk) 23:37, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I notice that the measurements of the ship given in the article no longer match the source I used when I added them. Lloyd's Register gives:- length , beam  and draught ; whereas the article now states it as:- length , beam  and draught . I would have thought that the measurements given by Lloyd's were accurate, as they would have been taken when the ship was entered on the register. Mjroots (talk) 07:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are different measures of length. See Hull_(watercraft)#Metrics. This website gives dimensions of the type as 417’8” LBP, 427’ LWL, and 441’6” LOA.    Still not the same as Lloyd's. Kablammo (talk) 14:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

text: And Miramar's figures convert to 416' LBP, and 441.6' LOA.  It would be interesting to know what load assumptions are made to determine the nominal LWL, as the waterline length would depend on how deeply the vessel is riding.  Kablammo (talk) 18:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This custody card (cited in present fn 3) also gives the 417'8" length, which is the same figure for LBP (length between perpendiculars). Figures for net and DWT are also on that card. Kablammo (talk) 15:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Thanks for all the interest in tidying this article; if any of you have time & resources, I'd suggest looking at the SS John Stagg as well.  Cheers! Tad (talk) 22:12, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
