Dates

The commissioning/decommissioning dates don't match the DYK article. GrahamBould 14:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't they? Commissioned March 1945, decommissioned Auggust 1946, recommissioned 1950, decommissioned (again) 1957.

Ah - I thought the 1946 was 1945. Will fix. -- ALoan (Talk) 14:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
