Gona Barracks and the six-inch gun reportedly from the HMAS Sydney
I have checked with the Qld Maritime Museum, who know nothing about this gun. They say the only six-inch gun they had came from the Cowan battery. So I have removed the reference to the QMM having the gun. But as they nothing of the gun in question, they could not help re the claim about coming from the HMAS Sydney. Not being a military history person, I don't really know where to go next to resolve this. Do you know where we might go? Kerry (talk) 04:17, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
- The only Sydney I guns I know of are the ones mentioned at HMAS_Sydney_(1912)#Decommissioning_and_fate: 2 at Rottnest Island, one at Thursday Island. The sources I have do not mention any other used main guns from Sydney 1, and no artifacts of any size except a liferaft from Sydney 2. Seeing as the Queensland Heritage Register is the source cited to this questionable claim (and you've already disproven the claim that "its at the QMM" is the incorrect), asking the relevant authority (the Queensland Heritage Council?) for the origin of the statement is the best way forward. Either they can provide the origin of the claim (which could be used to strengthen the Gona Barracks and other articles), or they can't (and they remove the incorrect information from their database, improving what they provide to the community). Failing that, the Royal Australian Navy's Naval Heritage Centre may be able to help. -- saberwyn 11:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Australian light destroyer project/Östergötland-class destroyer 'See also' sections (deleted).
Hi Saberwyn. I was planning to add more light destroyer types to the above sections, including those closer in time period to the respective programs. I am curious however, as to why you believe the DDLs and the Östergötlands have no connection what so ever. Not only were they both light destroyer types, but their original operational concepts were similar; in the case of the Östergötland class to help counter infiltration by Soviet underwater units including combat swimmers as well as to supplement existing destroyer classes such as the Halland and Öland. A major difference was that the DDL was intended to be the eventual basis for a family of naval vessels, while the goal of the Swedish Navy with the Östergötland class was for a cheap General Purpose combatant that could be built in large numbers. Both aims were to be ultimately frustrated; the DDL program by a combination of mission creep and political maneuvering while hopes for further Östergötlands were dashed by the, ah, interesting procurement politics in Sweden during the late 1950s and in particular the 1960s. This was despite the fact that the Östergötland class were arguably too austere.
On reflection, perhaps I should have called the section/s 'Ships of comparable era and/or role'. Ceannlann gorm (talk) 12:40, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

DYK for HMAS Mildura
 | On 7 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article HMAS Mildura, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that during the Japanese surrender of Hong Kong, one of HMAS Mildura's duties was overseeing the transfer of the local brewery from Japanese to Allied hands? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/HMAS Mildura. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Thank you, editor working from a rich slab and library, for quality contributions to articles on ships and their destinies, such as scuttling, for gnomish cleanup with telling edit summaries and assessment, for adding a moving image which "summarises the entire article", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hello saberwyn, thanks for the response. Regarding newspapers.com access, since you can't read the link I provided, I will add the links to my clippings page, where you should be able to see them (and link from them). It might take me a day or two to get around to it though. Gatoclass (talk) 08:11, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I clipped some stories, they are at this link. Be sure to sort them in chronological order. If you can't view them there, let me know and I'll try to figure something else out. Gatoclass (talk) 09:50, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
