Talk:20-tube 7inch UP Rocket Launchers/@comment-36.69.98.152-20180730134329/@comment-26082284-20180801063339

Funnily enough, the more I look into this the more dubious I am about Rodney carrying UP Rocketsat all.

Despite wikipedia claim (repeated on several other sites copy-paste style), I haven't found any photos or other primary sources confirming that Rodney was equipped with those rockets. And then there's something fishy about them being mounted on turret C (X actually) - there's seaplane catapult there, documented both before and after the dates rocket launchers were there. So either:

- they removed catapult, put rockets, make no photos, and then several months later removed rockets and put catapult back; or

- they put rockets on turret B only, make no photos, and then replaced it with octuple pom-pom several months later; or

- they never put any rockets on her, and claim that they did comes from conflating Nelson with her.
