Any idea as to the meaning of the name? (I am getting "the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe" for some reason. Paul, in Saudi ( talk) 15:41, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Incorporated material on her trans-Tasman service -- plus the meaning of her name and a bit on her carrier fitout/service -- using Ferry to Tasmania. There might be a bit between 1936 and 1948 that I've still to grab, but most of the remaining detail in the book on Nairana was about scheduling, too detailed for here. I think I've captured most of the notable events, especially her twin encounters with rogue waves that give lie to the suggestion in an earlier version of the article that her 26 years of ferry service were "without incident"... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 14:29, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
You missed the bit where she ferried aircraft to North Russia in June 1919, so I've made it a bit vaguer as to when she was reconverted. Tweak it as you see fit. Thanks for handling the DYK nom, I'll do the GAN later today. If we can get her original design info, it might be worth making a run at FAC. This went very smoothly, if you're ever minded to work on other Australian warships, let me know.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 13:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
I note that the tonnage is given as tons displacement. Doesn't this refer to her service as HMS Nairana. The Lloyd's Register entries give GRT and NRT figures for her service as SS Nairana, although I have had a report that the links don't work - they work fine for me using Firefox. Should these figures be added to the article? Mjroots ( talk) 07:33, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
