不过我在继续看Iain Ballantyne的《HMS Rodney》时也发现该书有一些描述混乱的情况,比如第18章“FORGING THE HAMMER”里有这样一段话:“On 1 May, Rodney suffered a hit from an experimental magnetic torpedo fired at her during development trials. Having been set to run deep under the battleship, it hit the seabed and rebounded, striking Rodney’s port screw. Fortunately, it did not cause any damage but the torpedo sank to the bottom, a casualty of mock war. Two days later Rodney took aboard 398 high explosive shells for her 16-inch guns, provoking another round of invasion speculation. The same day, as if to provide further proof, the ship got her first issue of a new variety of anti-aircraft shell designed to explode when it came within 50 ft of an aircraft. Having been used in other ships for some four years, Midshipman Robinson noted rather drily:
. . . good ole Rodney, better late than never.”
这里有明显的与书中前文前后矛盾的地方,如果按照“罗德尼”号舰员的回忆,基座行动时“罗德尼”号已经使用过带有“special proximity fuses”的炮弹,为什么还会说“该舰首次使用了一种新型的防空炮弹,能够在距离飞机50英尺的地方爆炸”(很明显这里指的是装有VT引信的炮弹)。退一步说,可能是近炸引信的种类不同,或是配发的炮弹是高射炮的吧。但是接下来又出现了“在其它舰艇上使用了四年之后”,该段落所述的时间是1944年,英军舰艇或是盟军舰艇使用近炸引信的时间难道是从1940年开始的?而且“罗德尼”号在1942年时也不是用过了近炸引信,怎么舰员还会说“迟了总比没有好”(不过说这话的人只是一个海军候补生,可能是个刚上舰的新人)。所以我现在对此书里的内容也开始持怀疑态度。
