Surely its fate isn't 'unknown' as it is likely that there are records somewhere (in contemporary newspapers, naval, military and/or office records, diaries, letters, photographs, cinefilms etc etc) that detail its fate and so its fate is known - it's just that the researchers haven't found these records yet? Surely it would be more appropriate to say 'its fate has not yet and possibly may never be discovered/discerned?' 81.156.124.135 ( talk) 11:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
While the article states that the Recruit saw the enlistment of many crews' worth of sailors, the crew size is in terms of another battleship, with no comparison. Is there any figure for the Recruit's recruiting crews for battleships her own size?-- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 13:53, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
