RE: category "Royal Navy ship names" -

It appears that the same ship information is available under at least 2 other categories that I have found so far - "Royal Navy Ships of the Line" and "List of Battleships of the Royal Navy". Question: Have all the data entered under these 3 categories been collated for given ships?

Where are the HMS Blythe and HMS Ramsey?[edit]

The mine sweeper HMS Blythe and HMS Ramsey are mentioned in this 26 Mar 2007 Guardian story: http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,,2041421,00.html related to the 2007 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy personnel incident.

Can't find a British ship by either name on Wikipedia. Is this a Guardian mistake? Or just another couple of missing ships? Mvialt 01:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are Sandown class minehunters; see HMS Blyth (M111) and HMS Ramsey (M110). Welsh 05:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Rotherham is missing from this list[edit]

But their is a Wikipedia entry for HMS Rotherham.

Adding a ship to this category list[edit]

Can be done by adding the statement

surrounded by two [ brackets (at each end) to the text of the article
