Talk:HMS Turbulent (N98)

The VC edit

I'm not sure why Linton's VC is gone into in such detail. This article is called HMS Turbulent (N98), not 'John Wallace Linton'. Mention of the VC should be made, but details, like the citation, should be on the appropiate page, i.e. John Wallace Linton. And besides, it seems that a cruiser was sunk, which as far as I can tell, had nothing to do with Turbulent.
As a bit of a side note, the citation on Linton's page is appreciably shorter than the one here!

What do other editors think?
