Fate of Raven II
editWhile Internet forums tend to be deprecated as primary source material, Theodor Dorgeist posted the following (in translation): "12.1.1945 sunk by US air raid at position 10.46 N 106.42 E Mekong Delta." (Presumably 12 Jan 1945.) (http://warsailors.com/forum/archive/forum/read.php-1,22496,22507.html#msg-22507) - Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^
Name of article
editIt's odd that the article is named Raven II, while the ship in question had that name for less than four years (she was Rabenfels for 16 years and Ravenrock for twelve). --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:45, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- If I had any substantial information about her commercial life, I might have chosen to use one of those names instead.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:55, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
