In Fiction citations

What exactly am I supposed to cite for my synopsis of Foch's role in Red Storm Rising? Based on similar articles, I wouldn't think that something like a ship's appearance in a novel would need a citation in the first place. The only logical thing to cite would be the book itself, but I didn't think fictional works were supposed to be cited either. 198.202.68.212 (talk) 20:23, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Plot analysis of a fictional work, in the article about that fictional work, can be cited "to the plot". However, in an article about, in this case, a ship that was featured in the plot of a fictional work, it needs to be demonstrated why the ship's being featured in the plot is notable - a simple "ship X appeared in book Y" listing is WP:TRIVIA and discouraged. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:21, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

In 2022, Brazil sold the Foch for $2 million (roughly €1.8 million) to a Turkish shipyard firm — Sok Denizcilik, which specialized in ship-breaking.

However, the ship never reached its destination port because the Turkish environmental authorities prohibited entry to any of its ports, forcing it to return shortly before reaching the Strait of Gibraltar also known as the Strait of Gibraltar.

Brazil brought the carrier back but did not allow it into port, citing the "high risk" to the local environment.

The ship had turned into a "ghost ship" as it floated in the Atlantic from September 2022 to February 2023.

Scuttling

On February 3, 2023, Brazil sank the decommissioned aircraft carrier. This was announced by the Brazillian Navy, despite environmentalists' outcries. A day before the sinking, the Brazilian attorney general's office also filed a new appeal before the Justice Department to no avail. Physco219 (talk) 23:34, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
