Talk:Japanese cruiser Soya

-class -->

Dates?
The Russian cruiser Varyag (1899) article states she was originally laid down in October 1898 and launched in October 1899. Here it says she was laid down in October 1899 and launched in January 1900. Which of these is correct? Drutt (talk) 17:26, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the two articles should be merged; they're about the same ship. TJSwoboda (talk) 02:03, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

2nd or 3rd class?
At first it states it was accepted as a second class cruiser, but then it states it was accepted as a third class. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.10.226.170 (talk) 17:00, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Meaning of the name?
Just asking: do the glyphs of the "soya" word refer to the soy beans? 109.252.79.153 (talk) 20:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
