The given Repulse statistics given are:
Repulse Statistics: 36,000 tons, 32-knot speed, six 15-inch guns, crew of 69 officers and 1,240 ratings well trained with consistently high marks the ship received on exercise, last Captain is Captain W.G. (Bill) Tennant.
Military Heritage did a feature on the Repulse and its sinking (Joseph M. Horodyski, Military Heritage, Volume 3, No. 3, pp.69 to 77) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.193.84.111 ( talk) 21:56, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
The casualty figures in the articles on the Prince of Wales, Repulse and the sinking of both ships do not agree with one-another (Eg. According the article on Repulse more survivors were rescued from the ship than were in its complement, and >300 died). I have no idea what the correct figures are and since there are no in-line citations it's impossible to work out where the data has come from. Does anyone have verifiable information on the complement of each ship and the number that perished in December 41? Wiki-Ed 13:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
436 men died on Hms Repulse according to the surviours website. See the website for mor details http://www.forcez-survivors.org.uk// Celticosprey —Preceding unsigned comment added by Celticosprey ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I'd heard, in physics problems, that the repulse was fabeled to be unsinkable and was hit in the funnel by a shot from a jap ship ~11km away. Naturally I doubted the facts but thought, after looking here to confirm my skeptisism, that I should leave this here incase someone wants to include it or whatever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fists ( talk • contribs) 10:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
WWII: When did Repulse leave India for the Far East and when did she arrive in Singapore? 81.156.125.126 ( talk) 11:35, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
There is a serious omission - no mention of Repulse's armour scheme after the 1934-6 conversion. The Land ( talk) 11:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
None of my numerous references mention any G4M Betty bombers taking part in this attack. All of them refer to only G3M Nells being in the squadrons operating out of Indo-China back then. This should be corrected in the article. I don't have my sources to cite, but they are many. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cadillacmike ( talk • contribs) 14:22, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Had there been an aircraft carrier accompanying the Repulse and Prince of Wales, would it have made any difference to the sinkings?
At this stage of the war British aircraft design was so obsolete that the aircraft carrier would probably have been sunk as well. AT Kunene ( talk) 12:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
In the table at completion time, 5x3 is misprinted in 6x3 In 1940, a further triple mount was deleted (as shown in the photo of the last convoy to singapore). pietro 151.29.249.152 ( talk) 04:15, 24 February 2017 (UTC) it would also be interesting to know why a battlecruiser was much more easy to build than a battleship. 2000 ton less (27000 vs 29000) do not seem a real advantage. Perhaps turbines were easier than armor? I have read (I may search where if needed) that Fisher wanted these ships to repeat the Falkland battle, without considering that the oceans had no more german cruisers in them (the author of this statement had a VERY bad opinion of Fisher). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.29.247.249 ( talk) 10:37, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
