Talk:HMS Protector (A173)

Cut and paste move
This is called a cut and paste move, and it is forbidden because it breaks the page history and loses the associated talk page. I have reverted it. If you wish to move MV Polarbjørn to HMS Protector (A173), see Requested moves for guidance on how to do so. Shem (talk) 16:07, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

MV Polarbjørn → HMS Protector (A173) –The ship is no longer called Polarbjørn but has been commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS Protector for at least three years; the article needs to be renamed, with a redirect to from MV Polarbjørn until such time as the ship's situation changes Hammersfan (talk) 10:48, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment She is a charter vessel, on contract, not an RN owned vessel, though... 70.49.125.226 (talk) 05:02, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose: no strong feeling, but suggest leaving as Polarbjørn unless sold to RN; otherwise we could be moving back in 3 years. The redirect will find the article in either case. Finavon (talk) 07:31, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose: I don't feel strongly about it either, but there's no deadline, and if the RN eventually buy it, then we should move it. Otherwise we'll be moving it back again.  In the meantime the redirect takes care of it well enough. Shem (talk) 16:46, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

IMO number
I changed the IMO number for Protector, showing a source. The earlier number is stated at the start of the Digital-seas page, but not in the "History of AIS Records" section towards the end. On searching, Digital-seas also show that same IMO number for several other ships. I understood that an IMO number stays with a hull and would not change on the charter to RN.

Pennant number
Is there any explanation of why Protector has an "A" pennant number number (normally for auxiliaries), yet is commissioned into the RN rather than RFA, carries fixed (though lightish) armaments and is described as a patrol vessel? Davidships (talk) 20:29, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
