HMS Conway (school ship)[edit]

I know schools are somewhat dubiously notable, but I think this one is fascinating. Not only was the school housed in a ship, it then sank! Dunc|☺ 00:02, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Even if it's fascinating, what's that got to do with anything? Everyking 01:30, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, though I'm inherently biased as I lived near where it sank for several years and know the story well. Fascinating, indeed. Dan100 15:53, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I renamed the article to HMS Conway (school ship) as "school ship" seems to be a description, not part of its name. It would be nice to have some material about Conway's operation as a school — what was the curriculum etc. (But if there's nothing specific to say about Conway then it would be better to expand the school ship article instead.)

  • Comment. I spent a week at a course at the former HMS Conway in May 1987 (it's now being used by Cheshire County Council). The article is about the school and after the ship sank in the 1950s it was built on land. So calling it a 'school ship' may not be entirely correct. Dbiv 15:07, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Ojbect. In need of copyedit; grammar is poor in sections and text is somewhat choppy and nonencyclopedic in tone. Bantman 01:36, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
