Talk:Minas Geraes-class battleship

Note on "Minas Geraes I"
The link to the ship's history as given on the linked reference is wrong; it is actually located here in the .doc format. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 07:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Coal-firing
The statement: "However, unlike Dreadnought, which had turbines, they were powered by reciprocating engines with coal-fired boilers."

Creates the impression that Dreadnought did not have coal-fired boilers, which was not the case.

Brasseys 1923 diagrams
Great diagrams! Can anyone access the same source to get those for the "Rivadavia" class? So both classes could be better compared. Thanks, DPdH (talk) 10:04, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Wrong Name
The correct name of this Ship should be Minas Gerais, like the brasilian state, and not Minas Geraes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.109.51.78 (talk) 11:09, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This is explained in the article under footnote 2. Regards, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:59, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Additional source
Hi, just a note for anyone interested, there is an additional source on Sao Paulo here. Thanks, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Armor specification: conversion to metric system
The armor specification says:

Turrets: 12–9–2/3 in (305–229–51/76 mm)

2/3 in is 16.93 mm. 51/76 mm is 0.671 mm. The problem is that 2/3 in (two-thirds of an inch) can't be converted to metric by converting both the numerator and the denominator: the latter should stay the same (as it is a ratio, not a measurement). 51 mm divided by 3 would give the correct (approx) 17 mm result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.66.169.157 (talk) 04:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi there! The armor specification, as can be read in the Specifications section, is for two-to-three inches, not 2/3 of an inch. I've tried clarifying this in the infobox. Thanks very much, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:59, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Now it is unambiguous; thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.66.169.157 (talk) 05:03, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
