Talk:Greek submarine Delfin (1912)

date
An English-language source I consulted corroborates most of this but gives a different date for the torpedo attack:
 * "The Greeks also had the war's only submarine, the French-built Delfin, which became the first undersea boat to fire a self-propelled torpedo in action. In the attack, on 22 December 1912, the Delfin targeted the Ottoman cruiser Mecidiye from a distance of 800 meters, but the torpedo missed the mark."

From: In any case might be worth adding as an English-language source to corroborate the "first torpedo" claim. --Delirium 06:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The different date results from the discrepancy of the Gregorian and Julian calendars. Greece used the Julian system until 1922, so there is a difference of 13 days. I am however including the reference. Thanks! Cplakidas 18:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

The Greek WP says that this happened on Nov. 21st, which is 13 days before Nov. 9th, as if the latter is the old calendar and Nov. 21 the new. But this is not sourced.--Euzen (talk) 09:37, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I moved it back. Well done for being bold, and please continue to be so in the future, but in this case, as per Naming conventions (ships), the article was correctly titled in the first place. Kind regards, Benea 13:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Knots
I'm translating the page for it. wiki... 85 knots sumberged is correct? --Zerosei (talk) 10:10, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * No, obviously not. Someone mistyped, it should be 8.5. Good catch! Constantine  ✍  10:29, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
