Sunk Japanese destroyer

I think that there is not the Japanese destroyer which sank in a port and an offing of Borneo in April, 1945. What is the name of the destroyer which sank?--saburny (talk) 07:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Table on page

I believe the first 2 entries on this table relate to another weapon system. I can't find consensus about what ships were sunk by Bat glide bombs and on what dates either. 18 Sep 08--TheNeilster (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 05:57, 18 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Info from 'Expert'

I know an individual who worked on this project. Is there any way I could put the information he has on here? Problem is referencing. Wedgiey1 (talk) 19:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Testing at TAAF

There was extensive testing at Tonopah Army Air Field in Nevada of all three versions of the BAT bomb (TV, radio, heat-seeking). There are still remnants of the mechanisms in the desert out there, as well as the concrete filled test bombs themselves. There is a museum in Tonopah that has a reassembled BAT bomb with the original wooden control surfaces, as well as a TV camera and control box. I don't know what would be the proper way to integrate this information into the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.186.35 (talk) 23:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BAT at China Lake Naval Museum of Ordnance and Technology

There is a BAT airframe with electronics on display at the Naval Museum of Ordnance and Technology on China Lake. There are a few photographs available (unfortunately, it is a military base and photography is, for the most part, prohibited). The China Lake museum has confirmation that at least one Japanese destroyer was sunk (although it does not give its name), along with a number of cargo ships. The page of the China Lake Museum on the bat may be found at http://www.chinalakemuseum.org/exhibits/bat.shtml 173.30.92.204 (talk) 05:25, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing use of "missile"

I have not conducted deep research bit it's entirely possible that in the 1940s calling a guided bomb "a missile" was entirely normal, however we write our encyclopedia in 2020s and must use modern terms. Nowadays exclusively rocket-propelled munitions are considered missiles, and they are distinguished from both smart bombs and loitering munitions. If we include the old terminology, I believe it should be done carefully (e. g., in quotes and with proper commentary). Ain92 (talk) 10:29, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fully agree! ZiggyMercury (talk) 22:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
