Talk:Pocket battleship

Versailles of Washington?
Article reads: ...in accordance with restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles.... Shouldn't it be Washington Naval Treaty? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:13, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * No, the Washington Naval Treaty only applied to its signatories, the USA, Britain, Japan, France, and Italy. Articles 181 and 190 of the Treaty of Versailles restricted Germany to 6 battleships no larger than 10,000 tons, 6 light cruisers (up to 6,000 tons), 12 destroyers (800 tons) and 12 torpedo boats (200 tons). -- Arwel 21:03, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Diesel ?
The Deutchland class ships were Diesel powered, weren't they? -- Geo Swan 04:43, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)
 * Yes, they were.Cosal 07:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Merging this article with "Deutschland class cruiser"
Both articles describe the same class of german warship, one ("Pocket battleship") has a more elaborate text and the other ("Deutschland class cruiser") a more elaborate layout. Is there any reason not to merge these two? Combined title should be Deutschland class cruiser, being the official name.

 * Sounds plausible. Although one could say "pocket battleship" is a more general concept and thus different, but there aren't any examples outside the one class, so not much point. Stan 04:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Both articles might benefit from some editing, but I would not favor merging them. Some people will probably look for "pocket battleship", while others are more interested in finding out something about the specific ship "Deutschland". Cosal 07:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * There is an article about the individual ship Deutschland, MiG proposed to merge the article about the class. --Yooden
 * Absolutely. I tried to do the same thing a few weeks ago but choose the wrong way to do it. --Yooden
