Charles III spent a day on board

As a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy, HRH Prince Charles, as he was then, spent twenty-four hours on board HMS Churchill as part of his training. Imperial War Museum Ralph Corderoy (talk) 18:02, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Class

Sources appear to vary about what class Churchill and the following submarines actually were - Jane's and the like refer to them as Valiants, while Hennessey & Jinks's The Silent Deep (p. 291) refers to them as repeat-Valiants, and notes that they were virtually identical to the original two boats. The Churchill-class submarine article cites Hool, Jack, and Nutter, Keith, Damned Un-English Machines, a history of Barrow-built submarines, pub Tempus, 2003, ISBN 0-7524-2781-4 page 177 for the Churchill-class name. This is something that we may just have to say that sources differ.Nigel Ish (talk) 15:53, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, there seems to be some confusion, what do the RN list them as? Slatersteven (talk) 15:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pump Jet/Propulsor

While the thing that replaced the propeller may often be called a propulsor, reliable sources seem to use the term pump jet - these include Brown & Moore's Rebuilding the Royal Navy which gives a description of the device (a multi-bladed rotor and stator encased in a carefully shaped duct) - as Brown was the Deputy Chief Naval Architect of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors, he should be trustworthy for terminology.Nigel Ish (talk) 16:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
