Editing Hamoaze (section)

==Geography==
The Hamoaze flows past Devonport Dockyard, which is one of three major bases of the [[Royal Navy]] today. The presence of large numbers of small [[watercraft]] is a challenge and hazard to the [[warship]]s using the naval base and dockyard. Navigation on the waterway is controlled by the [[King's Harbour Master]] for Plymouth.<ref>[http://www.gov.uk/government/groups/qhm-plymouth Queen's Harbour Master Plymouth]</ref><ref>[http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1999/2029/made The Dockyard Port of Plymouth Order 1999]</ref>

Settlements on the banks of the Hamoaze are [[Saltash]], [[Wilcove]], [[Torpoint]] and [[Cremyll]] in [[Cornwall]], as well as [[Devonport, Devon|Devonport]] and [[Plymouth]] in [[Devon]].

Two regular ferry services crossing the Hamoaze exist: the [[Torpoint Ferry]] (a [[chain ferry]] that takes vehicles) and the [[Cremyll Ferry]] (passengers and cyclists only).

A street in Torpoint bears the name Hamoaze Road, named after the stretch of river.
