A fact from Japanese cruiser Abukuma appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 January 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
The article had Destroyer Division 1 abbreviated as "DesRon 1"; however, "Ron" indicates a squadron, not a division, which would be "Div," so I changed all mention of "DesRon 1" to the complete "Destroyer Division 1." Does anyone know more about what unit this ship was actually flagship of? --24.19.69.5419:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is Destroyer Squadron 1. Thank you for your help. My first citation of the unit was incorrect. In the first years of war a squadron of destroyers was eight ships led by a light cruiser and a division was four ships. Later casualties meant that some squadrons and divisions had fewer ships. Also there was some reorganization. Shibumi223:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
