Graduation?[edit]

I note that the article states that JR graduated from the Royal Australian Naval College, Jervis Bay in 1933. But the RANC was at Flinders from 1930. Is Cresswell claiming too much?Lexysexy (talk) 04:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks OK; see Royal Australian Naval College, HMAS Creswell. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 22:59, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What looks OK? In your referenced article, in connection with RANC, it states: "It was moved to Flinders Naval Depot in 1930 to reduce costs during the Great Depression. To reduce overcrowding at the depot, the college moved once again to Captain's Point in 1958." So how can he graduate at Jervis Bay in 1933?Lexysexy (talk) 23:50, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
