Hey all - I just found File:HMS Lion.jpg, which is in the category on Commons for HMS Lion (1910). It is clearly not the ship (or any other HMS Lion, for that matter), but I don't know which ship she is. Can anyone lend a hand in identifying her so we can correct the name on Commons? Thanks.

I've flagged this one up at Ships Nostalgia. Hopefully we'll have an answer soon. Mjroots (talk) 15:03, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
HMS Cumberland (57) has been suggested at SN. Mjroots (talk) 16:43, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) The easy part is that it looks like one of the County class cruisers, but I don't know how much further we can take that.
The hard part is that it’s listed as part of the Edwin Newman collection at San Diego Air and Space Museum, and is presumably described there as HMS Lion, so unless they can be persuaded to change the description and title of it there, we may well be stuck with it.
The only thing I can suggest there is that we sub-text it on Commons with a note to this effect. Xyl 54 (talk) 16:50, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
