File talk:Tug Diomedes scuttled at Zeebrugge, 1918.jpg

Despite the postcard caption, this photo is (clearly) not the 3700-ton naval cruiser HMS IPHIGENIA (not "Iphegenir"), nor her sister HMS INTREPID, scuttled during the ZeebruggeRaid [1]. It pictures a small tug of 170 tons, with the name DIOMEDES and port of HAMBURG on the stern. This was a requisitioned German Navy tug, which was scuttled by the Germans on their withdrawal on 15 October 1918. Davidships (talk) 20:40, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
- And why there is a request for a renaming - but the maybe wrong description is still there? The name is not the important thing of a file. But the description is. The name could be nearly everything. It is only a name. Users must understand what's to see on the image, when they read the description! Marcus Cyron (talk) 21:36, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
