Talk:List of battleships of Greece

Battleship definition?
It doesn't make much sense to have an article titled Hydra class battleship and not include them in this list. Are they battleships or not? Srnec (talk) 05:32, 14 December 2011 (UTC)


 * "Battleship" is a somewhat vague term and changed in definition as ship types changed. Take a look at the second paragraph in the battleship article, which does a decent job of explaining the issue. The modern conception of the term essentially includes just pre-dreadnought and dreadnought battleships. Earlier ships are ironclads, steam battleships, and ships of the line. The Hydra class should really be at Hydra class ironclad (and at List_of_decommissioned_ships_of_the_Hellenic_Navy, they're classified as such). There should be a List of ironclad warships of Greece that includes the Hydras, Vasilissa Olga, and Vasilefs Georgios. Parsecboy (talk) 12:30, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Battleships of Greece
If it is not a list should it not be renamed to battleships of Greece? AIR corn (talk) 04:33, 21 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I see that this has been classed as A class which should mean that it has been reviewed to a standard considered by some to be higher than GA. I suggest that the article is renamed to remove "List" from the name and perhaps considered for WP:FAC. Jezhotwells (talk) 09:53, 24 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I don't care what a few of the FLC people think is or is not a list. This article lists the four battleships ordered or purchased by the Greek Navy, which merits the present title.
 * As for GAN/FAC, it might as well get the GA review. This article is so far down the queue for FAC, it probably will never go. Parsecboy (talk) 17:38, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
