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?
Portsmouth Naval Base is a large site wholly owned by the Ministry of Defence, in which a number companies operate. Devonport Naval Base was broken up in 2002 with the result that the Ministry of Defence only own a small past, with the larger part being owned by the private companies. Technically, Devonport are measuring the total size of the old base (now split into spearate government and private ownership), whereas Portsmouth is still all government owned —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ralabaf ( talk • contribs) 15:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
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)
The heritage area is completely within the formal site of the MoD Property which is the Naval Base. It's part of the area defined under the Military Lands Act. The heritage area are effectively tennants or the MoD —Preceding

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? CS 46 20:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
In the lede, para 6, it says that '17,200 people' are employed at the base. But in the 'Functioning base' section, para 2, there are 17,300.
Which is correct?
In the information for the picture showing the Alimirante Cochrane, someone has written in the edit page: "HMS Norfolk was given to Chilean Navy". "Given"?! Shurely shome mistake. "Sold" perhaps, "leased" - possibly, but "given"? I don't think so. RASAM ( talk) 21:51, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
Which article should closing of the shipyards be part of? Twobells ( talk) 13:05, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
Isn't this article overdoing it a little? Thoughts? - wolf 22:18, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
I suggest the inclusion of Detention Quarters (DQ's/Deeks). Discipline for many is at the heart of the Royal Navy and it is known that breeches of discipline were treated severely.
It would be good to have the history of discipline and punishments within the naval base and on vessels attached to the base.
it would be interesting to have a timeline of when DQ's were formally introduced into the naval base, what the took over from, what crimes and misdemeanors got you into DQ's, sentence limits, what DQ's looked like, when they wer built and when they closed as well as the current use of the facility. 217.144.243.100 ( talk) 12:26, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
