HMS Grafton (F80) → Almirante Lynch (FF-07) – This is a warship formerly known as HMS Grafton, but acquired by the Chilean Navy in 2007 and renamed Almirante Lynch. Almirante Lynch is her current name. I'm unable to move the page because the target page already exists as a redirect.&#32;Af1391 (talk) 02:48, 23 January 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). – robertsky (talk) 00:51, 25 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Technically, the article would be named Chilean frigate Almirante Lynch (FF-07) per WP:NC-SHIPS on article names for navies without prefixes. Llammakey (talk) 01:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose. Also per WP:NC-SHIPS "An article about a ship that changed name or nationality should be placed at the best-known name, with a redirect from the other name". At present, based on article content (and for readers of enWP), HMS Grafton remains the best-known name, but not as strongly so as in parallel requests at Talk:HMS Marlborough (F233) and Talk:HMS Norfolk (F230). (That may, of course, change in the future.) - Davidships (talk) 19:35, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support (move to Chilean frigate Almirante Lynch (FF-07) per Llammakey) - per my reasoning here, which I don't think needs to be repeated verbatim across these related move requests. Parsecboy (talk) 22:07, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Davidships. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per Llammakey and Parsecboy. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:49, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
