Talk:HMS New Zealand (1904)/@comment-2A02:C7F:8C54:DA00:6C50:4713:32D7:2A1C-20190818154731

You have in your report above "Zealandia underwent a refit there that lasted until March 1916, then rejoined the 3rd Battle Squadron and the Grand Fleet on 26 March 1916 On 29 April 1916, the 3rd Battle Squadron was rebased at Sheerness, and on 3 May 1916 it was separated from the Grand Fleet, being transferred to the Nore Command. Zealandia remained there with the squadron until September 1917, undergoing a refit at Chatham Dockyard from December 1916 to June 1917.[7]

What has been omitted from the report is ......that HMS Zealandia was the first ship to be docked at Rosyth Dockyard up on the Firth of Forth. She was docked in No 1 Dock on the 27/03/1916 and remained there till 04/04/1916 for Temporary Repairs to her Outer Bottom Plating. If it was only a temporary repair she must have sailed somewhere else for permanent repairs to her Outer Bottom Plating, be interested to know where she went after Rosyth. Hope this can be added to the Story.
