HMS Shropshire edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The article in the first paragraph says that this ship was the only ship named after Shropshire in the UK.

There is no present article regarding the World War One Troopship following:

The HMAT A9 Shropshire weighed 8,130 tons with an average cruise speed of 15 knots or 27.78 kmph. It was owned by the Federal SN Co Ltd, London, and leased by the Commonwealth until 5 August 1917.

Would it not also have been named after Shropshire?

A claim like that usually refers to warships. The article will be modified accordingly. -- saberwyn 22:14, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
