A fact from Auk-class minesweeper appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 March 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that of the 95 Auk class minesweepers used in World War II only one was sunk by an enemy submarine and only 11 were lost in total?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/March.

Fixed HMS Florizel's link

I fixed the link for HMS Florizel. I would have preferred to change Florizel's article title, but I have not figured out how to do that, other that start a new article from scratch, which might have been easier anyways. Then I have not figured out how to delete the old article either.--Plmerry (talk) 09:30, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

number of engines?

navsource states 2xdiesel electric drive.

but it only makes sense if there were 4 diesel engines. A 12-278A cannot generate 1500shp by itself.

hard to find a source on the engine layout of the Auks.

see also: navsource on abnaki engines. there they say it's 4 engines (for a 3000shp diesel-electric boat).

see also: http://www.alternatewars.com/Archives/Ships_Data_USN/Ships_Data.htm for a bureau of ships primary source on Auk horsepower and engine types. 158.181.81.168 (talk) 12:32, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
