De-merge

OK, I've done the mechanical merge (see, this is why it's better to have index articles rather than glomming multiple ships into one article), but the two sets of statistics are slightly different, and someone needs to research which is correct. Stan 16:32, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Extended Defect and Maintenance Period

I think that this two paragraph:

During an 'Extended Defect and Maintenance Period', numerous modifications were made to the ship including the removal of her Sea Dart defences at a cost of twelve million pounds. This allowed for extra deck space that enables her to carry up to 22 aircraft, including the Harrier GR.7 and Sea Harrier FA.2.
At the turn of the century, Illustrious entered a refit and emerged with another large change in configuration. The ship's Sea Dart missile system was removed to allow a large flight deck and greater stowage of ordnance for RAF Harriers that were becoming a more regular part of the air wing.

Must be merged in one, the first is cited before the Bosnia war, the second after. (sorry but my english it's not sufficiently good to do it).--Moroboshi 10:33, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rolls Skipper's Chair

This is sort of cheesy, and not much of it is relevant, but Rolls has an ad campaign running about custom-building the captain's chair for HMS Illustrious article on jalopnik --Zegoma beach 13:58, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of image

Deletion of images need to be accompanied by edit summary explanation or discussion on this page. An unidentified user has twice tried to delete an image on two occasions from different IP addresses. Content is by consenus so discussion could well lead to result desired, but current method is crossing line of vandalism. HJ 15:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
