Timeline
[edit]I have added a Timeline of events for the HMS Hardy's career, if someone had further information then please add to it. I have also added a little information on the opening statement and cited a source. Jbaron88 (talk) 11:15, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Some points:
- The Spitfire referred to in the source is the HMS Spitfire (1912). The famous plane had not been invented at this time.
- Plowden was in command at the battle of Jutland, but the source does not say he took command at Jutland. The point where command transferred between Crabbe and Plowden (and any intervening commanders) has been lost, or at least is not in any source we have so far found.
- It is unlear if the "1917 - Transferred to Devonport" and "November 1918 - 4th Destroyer Flotilla, Devonport", refer to separate transfers or simply the second item is saying "still at Devonport". [1] implies it is the latter, and that Hardy moved with the rest of the Flotilla in 1917.
- The timeline, which is taken from [2], doesn't really give any more information than has already been summarised in the other sections that already exist. I'm also not over-keen to trust [3], as there is an obvious mistake whereby the timeline's "launched" date is out by a year. Personally, I would prefer not to have this section, as it relies wholly on one slightly vague and slightly undependable source, whereas the prose sections use several sources and are therefore a bit more robust. --LukeSurl t c 12:25, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
