Possible article expansion

Hi All, I've recently got a book about the MV Krait so I'm thinking on adding a bit of info from it to this article, and also to the one about Operation Jaywick. I also took a couple pics of the ship at the ANMM from a different angle, and might upload some of them to commons (if I find out how to do that!). Just need a bit of free time... Regards, DPdH (talk) 15:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The recently-added Commons upload wizard is a good step-by-step process for uploading photos. -- saberwyn 22:52, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any refs for the 6LW Gardner. Was this the original main, or was the Krait repowered after WW2 service? The hull has survived for a huge amount of time. Is it Asian teak?. The fasteners must be good quality copper or bronze. The Japs have always made excellent ships, particularly their subs.27.33.245.30 (talk) 00:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A YouTube video

According to this video by the well-informed naval historian Drachinifel, quoting Singapore Dockyard and Australian Maritime Museum records, Kofuku Maru was captured while in Singapore harbour and pressed into refugee-rescuing service by a redoubtable 60yo Australian called Bill Reynolds, and USS Edsall instead captured at sea a similar ship with a similar name.

The video contains detailed information about Krait and Jaywick, which I have no doubt could be confirmed in WP:reliable sources - Drachinifel is that good. Narky Blert (talk) 18:59, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
