Talk:Operation Hurricane

message: "The bomb was successfully detonated at 09:29:24 on 3 October 1952 local time, which was 23:59:24 on 2 October 1952 UTC, 00:59:24 on 3 October in London, and 7:59:24 on 3 October in Perth."
As the Monte Bello islands are part of Western Australia, wouldn't local time on the islands be the same as the time in Perth?

thread_title:  Monte Bello Islands or Montebello Islands 

message: Hello  so I see you reverted my grammatical change to clarify the Operation Hurricane location. This has since been further edited to improve the original wording, but Im of the opinion that using the term "in Western Australia" is not correct, as it is not "within" WA at all. In fact it is far enough off the coast I do not believe it remains within the Australia maritime boundaries of 12km limits, unless im mistaken. Hence my wording of "off the coast of WA". What are your thoughts, as I see your academic credentials on Australian Military History are why you have interest in the page. I'm doing mature aged Uni at UNSW as I write and am formulating an essay on Nuclear Proliferation, hence my interest and subsequent edit. Again your thoughts on the actual location and a correct description? Nürö  G'DÄŸ MÄTË 01:27, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm at ANU now. The Montebello Islands are indeed part of Western Australia.  Following a recommendation by the United Nations Commission on  the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) on 9 April 2008, Australia has a confirmed outer limit to its continental shelf extending beyond 200 nautical miles from the territorial sea baseline associated with both the continent and its remote offshore territories.

replies: text:  From a WA editor - Montebello_Islands have always been part of WA in its administrative existence, and of no other provenance of any sort - not sure where the distance from the coast stuff comes from - but please note that distance has nothing to do with the islands, if they are there they are west australian, in the full length of Coastal_regions_of_Western_Australia there is no other island or reef that is of other jusrisdiction other than the state of western australia apart from the territories that are way out such as Ashmore_and_Cartier_Islands and Christmas and Cocos.

replies: text:  As im not a mariner, and clearly wrong on the outer limits of our oceanic territory, ill readily accept that you both have more than proven the facts; thought id put it forward though. I certainly didn't know we had a 200km nautical limit to our territory... Nürö  G'DÄŸ MÄTË 11:39, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not kilometres, but nautical miles; a nautical mile is 1,852 metres precisely.   Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:08, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Typing error as im just used to adding km to such numbers...  ...but back to nuclear deterrence theory for me now Nürö  G'DÄŸ MÄTË 08:47, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  The coast of WA 

message: The crater in the seabed is shown on marine charts at -20.410033S 115.566120E. 
That is 935 metre south of the coordinates given 20°24′11″S 115°33′53″E on this page. 
I guess it depends on the different coordinate references used. WGS84 ? King of Tea Tree (talk) 06:42, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

message: I was going to read more of this to help out with the daily article but it seems I won't have the time. While glancing over I did notice some stylistic inconsistency between captions with some ending in a full stop/period while others did not. Additionally, the intro also had some unnecessary commas which I trimmed, sampling suggests it might be worth reviewing other sections for that as well. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:E5B1:3387:8DD1:AAFA (talk) 14:21, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
