Split/merger[edit]

I would like to suggest:

  1. We split this article into separate articles covering the two separate boats.
  2. Operation Primrose be merged into the second of the subsequent articles. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 16:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There's no reason to treat the first and second U-110 boats together as (I presume) they are otherwise unrelated. I would suggest we use primary disambiguation in this case, given that the WWII U-110 is much more notable; that is, I propose the WWII boat stays here (Unterseeboot 110), we move the WWI info to an article titled something like Unterseeboot 110 (World War I), and we add a disambiguation header to the top of this article. — Matt Crypto 16:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Convention would suggest Unterseeboot 110 (1917) for the elder vessel. We could rename this one to Unterseeboot 110 (1940) and have a disambiguation page as is common for USN and RN ship disambiguation pages. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 19:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I still think "primary topic" disambiguation would be a better fit here, because the 1940 U-110 seems to be much more famous as a result of the Enimga capture. See, e.g. Google search: someone typing U-110 into the Wikipedia search bar is almost certainly looking for the WWII boat. But it doesn't matter a great deal, and I certainly wouldn't start a fight over it ;-) — Matt Crypto 20:51, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I changed "England" to "Britain", as if one is heading to Scarpa Flow in Scotland, it doesn't seem to me to make much sense to be heading for England, as one has to circumnavigate that country to reach Scarpa Flow.

Changes[edit]

Among many others, I've changed USS Hunt to HMS Broadway (as per 'uboat.net' and many other accounts of the incident). The US was not in the War at this time, officially or otherwise, so there would hardly likely be an American warship involved; besides, Broadway pops up later in the article (without introduction or explanation).
I've also changed Baker-Cresswell's rank (the escort commander in Bulldog), from 'captain' (Army equivalent: Colonel)! to 'commander'. This was the grade he held at the time. ...Unless the 'captain' was meant to be an appointment and not a rank. But isn't the appointment then 'commanding officer', not 'captain'?

There are other changes - but they are too many to mention here.
