Ok, given how poorly curated the bibliography itself is, the #Further reading section is obviously not particularly trustworthy.

Further reading sections generally tend towards this kind of useless and untrustworthy bloat and generally shouldn't be used at all. It's better if these works, if valuable, are included in the article itself to source some of its information. If the further reading is being restored, kindly curate the list so that it's more useful in some way than just searching Google or Google Scholar for "Royal Navy". — LlywelynII 00:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
