[edit] Conflict with the HMNB Devonport article

The HMNB Devonport article states:

It is the largest naval base in the European Union and Western Europe.

This article states that HMNB Portsmouth is the largest base of the British Royal Navy. Doonhamer 02:57, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

could be the difference between physical area, and the number of ships/docks/personnal?

[edit] Article intention

is this article about the history of the naval base or the Historic Dockyard tourist attraction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.99.176 (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

According to [1] the heritage area is part of the naval base. CS⁴⁶ 20:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bases within HMNB Portsmouth

I can find no evidence that HMS Collingwood, HMS Dryad, HMS Dolphin, HMS Daedalus or Haslar Royal Military Hospital are, or ever were, considered part of HMNB Portsmouth. Can anyone find a reference? CS⁴⁶ 20:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
