A fact from Exercise Verity appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 August 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Exercise Verity, a 1949 multilateral exercise involving over 60 warships, was described by a British newsreel as involving "the greatest assembly of warships since the Battle of Jutland"?

Question about location[edit]

Am I missing something? If "The 60-ship flotilla gathered in Mounts Bay, near Penzance, prior to setting sail for the Bay of Biscay for the week-long exercise," why does the chart give the location as "Mediterranean Sea"? Mounts Bay and Penzance are on the south coast of England, and the Bay of Biscay (as shown on the map illustrating this article) is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean. Neither is part of the Mediterranean. 71.91.126.154 (talk) 08:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks pointing this out. I cut-and-pasted the info box from another article.Marcd30319 (talk) 11:48, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
