Talk:LX(R)-class amphibious warfare ship

Merge discussion
The U.S. Navy has announced that the forthcoming LX(R) amphibious warfare ship, the replacement for the current Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship and Harpers Ferry-class dock landing ship dock landing ships, will be designated as San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock Flight II. I suppose LX(R)-class amphibious warfare ship could remain as a stand alone article, but even as the principal author of the "LX(R)-class amphibious warfare ship" article I think that both articles are short enough that it probably makes sense for the LX(R)-class amphibious warfare ship article to be merged into a new section of San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock. —RP88 (talk) 02:16, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I would recommend keeping the two articles separate. The "Flight II" characteristics and capabilities are distinctive enough to warrant a separate article even if these ship have a designation of LPD as opposed to LSD.  When the lead ship is given an actual name, the the LX(R) article can be renamed to that new class name.Marcd30319 (talk) 17:14, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I suggest keeping this article to focus on higher level LX(R) program info, at least for the short term. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:41, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree these should be separate articles at this time. The LX (R) hasn't yet been finalized, and could be changed significantly or named as an LSD prior to project completion. REJ17 (talk) 18:46, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * So... you're !voting against the merge based on a bunch of "What ifs" that may never come to pass?


 * Merge - they are the essentially the same ship. Both articles together would not be too large of a page and all the info, flt I & II, would be in one place. Seems obvious. - the WOLF  child  02:56, 23 April 2018 (UTC)


 * the two different ship programs should be on the same page because they are the same class of ships as has been done previously classes should be kept together look at all the Nimitz class variants or Ariegh Burke class variants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.187.128.100 (talk) 18:41, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
