HMS Natal (1905) → HMS Natal – This is the only ship of this name. The other ship with a similar name should properly be referred to as "HMSAS Natal", it should be dealt with by a hatnote. PatGallacher (talk) 00:02, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Memorial stone of Captain Back
editThere is a very fine memorial cross for Captain Back and his wife "who died with him" - she was listed among the casualties - in the graveyard of Maxstoke Church, Warwickshire. The reverse of the memorial, which faces the street of this tiny village, is also the village war memorial. 89.242.112.206 (talk) 19:51, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Use of the salvaged steel
editSteel recovered from HMS Natal was used as shielding in ‘whole body monitoring’ units in the nuclear industry. The steel is used in the walls and ceiling to stop external sources penetrating the chamber during the monitoring. Steel produced after 1945 shows trace elements from nuclear weapons testing and would show up during the monitoring. As the steel was produced prior to this date it does not affect the results ~2025-34839-19 (talk) 11:31, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
