Propose altering the caption on the first picture to read 'Resolution between the wars'. The current caption 'at anchor' is inaccurate as the ship is clearly underway. Apart from the visual signs of water flow along the hull, the ship is flying the White Ensign at the stern; if at anchor it would also have a Union Flag at the jackstaff. The mistake might have arisen from the vertical chains hanging from the bow. These are not anchor chains but part of the paravane installation.

I'm afraid I can't find the original image on the IWM site or anywhere else (it's not my image, and the uploader hasn't given any clues). As you may have guessed, I'm not an experienced Wikipedia editor; my proposal was intended simply as a professional interpretation of the visual evidence and I apologise if that constitutes 'verboten' original research. I note, however, that the photo in the article was originally captioned 'HMS Resolution between the wars'; the phrase 'at anchor' was added on 3 May 2014, so it ought to be possible to WP:PROVEIT one way or the other by referencing the published source on which the edit was based.

This article is in great shape. I have a few comments/queries:
Just placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 03:37, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
The final sentence of the final paragraph states: "One of Resolution's 15-inch guns, which was later fitted to the monitor HMS Roberts, is on display at the Imperial War Museum in London." [2]
The historical note to the reffed IWM pic states: "This gun was mounted in the battleship HMS Resolution from 1915-1938, and was first fired in action against targets in the Sea of Marmora in 1920. It was stored from 1938-44 when it was mounted in the twin 15-in gunned monitor HMS Roberts." Roberts' turret and guns originally came from HMS Marshal Soult. Neither this article nor the Roberts one mentions the removal or re-fitting of these guns. Also asking at the Roberts talk page. Any ideas, anyone? MinorProphet ( talk) 20:10, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
