Source or not Source?
editThe article on X-Craft is interesting, but I thought that Operation Source was sufficiently important to justify its own page. Especially so, when the page existed as a redirect. So, I extracted the material from X-Crafts and adapted it to stand alone. At the same time, I abbreviated the description of Source in the original article.
No offence is intended by reverting the article, but I still think that Source should be separately described and the X-Craft article linked to it.

I stumbled upon this subject via the rather good book "Against All Odds" ( http://aviabooks.co.uk/book.php?id=1874&cat=12 ). Which is a great account of Operation Source, and seems to be very well researched. Unfortunately there seems to be precious little information to be found on the internet about it. 82.71.7.193 01:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Grove gives it some coverage, but contradicts some facts presented, & believes X-5 may've laid the fatal charges. TREKphiler hit me ♠ 20:25, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
X5 or X6?
editThe paragraph that starts with "X5, commanded by Lieutenant Henty Henty-Creer" seems to discuss the fate of X5, yet the next to last sentence mentions "X6"; maybe it was meant to say "X5" too?
References
edit'Garzke & Dulin' is insufficient as a reference in the footnotes. Can someone provide the title of the book and the other vital referential material, as per Wiki standards? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.226.4.82 (talk) 13:51, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
'Garzke & Dulin' probably refers to Axis and neutral battleships in World War II, Annapolis, Md. : Naval Inst. Pr., 1985; but this would still need to be confirmed. Earendur (talk) 19:51, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
