LS326 Relevance

Hello, I am curious about the relevance of Swordfish LS326 in this article; since the article is about the ship itself and not its aircraft. I wonder if this information should be deleted or moved to the article for the Fairey Swordfish.

Scrapping Location

The final scrapping location of the ship seems to be disputed between sources.

• Warships of World War II puts the scrapping location in Osaka, which seems corroborated by this website (an archive of Dutch shipping).
• Hobbs' book British Aircraft Carriers and the Fleet Air Arm Archive place it in Hong Kong instead.

I lean more towards Hong Kong, since Hobbs is already a respected source, and Warships of World War II mention the fate in an infobox (which also seems to contain other errors).

Any external input is appreciated, as I am currently working on trying to improve the article to a higher standard.

This document from the Lloyd's Register Foundation says the ship was scrapped in Osaka, and it is filed as such in the Total Loss report. As such, I have changed the scrapping location back to Osaka. SpanCan (talk) 01:16, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
