"in 1928 King George V was able to unveil a tablet celebrating the completion of the work, which still continues." - how can the work be said to have been completed in 1928 if it's still underway three-quarters of a century later? This sentence could do with being made a bit clearer (though not by me, as I don't have the requisite knowledge!). Loganberry 11:45, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A 250 year old wooden hulled ship requires constant attention. The plaque commemorates the completion of a major restoration but things do not stand still. For instance the ropes of the rigging will not last 75 years and the ship will require ongoing regular painting. Although the sentence may appear self contradictory in reality its true and should stand. Restoration work on the ship will never be finished for more than a day or two. --LiamE 11:34, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

One could rephrase to clarify that one restoration project was completed 1928, but that a number of additional projects have been undertaken since then. Stan 20:50, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Signal School

In 1889 HMS Victory was fitted up as a Naval School of Telegraphy, which became the School of Signalling - this school was moved ashore in the early 1900's, but surely it merits a mention?? (Further details can be found on the Royal Naval Communications Association website [1]) Jaycey 23:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, I'll insert it then! Jaycey 13:12, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Toro island?

Victory was passing the island of Toro on April 4, 1805, when HMS Phoebe brought the news that the French fleet under Pierre-Charles Villeneuve had escaped from Toulon.'

Is this a reference to Bocas del Toro? - Eric 11:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] HMS VICTORY II

Does anybody know exactly what hms victory II was during world war I. Was it a training ship in Portsmouth? It has shown up on my great grandfather's wwI navy records.

Have a look at this page - http://www.gwpda.org/naval/rnshore.htm - I think it might probably help you. Jaycey 14:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
