@Buddythen: I reverted your edit because it sounded like the content was from your own memory, while we require all content to come from published sources. If I'm wrong, then please just include a citation along with your changes and also please review the capitalization and spelling and do not use "our". Thank you! -- Fyrael (talk) 14:22, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Your Correct, it is my memory. How can that instance be collaborated though published information? When the Hobson's bow passed the carrier's island the bowsprit was still above the flight deck. What pipe exists there? Buddythen (talk) 13:17, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for replying over here! It would probably only appear in published sources if you or someone with you had told a reporter, author, researcher, etc who then published it. And if it hasn't been published, then I'm afraid it isn't appropriate to appear on Wikipedia because it would conflict with one of Wikipedia's core policies, Wikipedia:Verifiability. I'm sure that's frustrating to hear, but there are many other places online that you can tell your story, such as social media or even your own blog. I hope you find something that fits. -- Fyrael (talk) 15:34, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
