This page has been move a few times already: I've had to move it again, per WP:ENGVAR, as the page (as written) uses the spelling "defence" rather than "defense" throughout, while a couple of the later moves ( tweaking the title per NC/SHIPS) didn't take this into account. I trust this is OK with everyone. Xyl 54 ( talk) 10:24, 4 June 2013 (UTC) reply
