Talk:Protector-class offshore patrol vessel

Irish ships
I'm unsure if the two Irish ships I added to 'see also' are the ones the new OPV will be based on, but they are the newest and do look like the NZ ship. Joffeloff 15:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * They are both based on the Vard-7 series of hulls. The RNZN OPV's are Vard-7 85 and the Irish are Vard-7 90 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2406:5A00:D89C:A600:9D99:939D:B5D2:6DAB (talk) 07:47, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Class names and article titles
New Zealand has two new classes of patrol vessels: inshore ones and offshore ones. The Navy uses the umbrella term "Protector" when referring to these classes. I'm not sure whether the Navy intends Protector to be the class name for these ships. If so then two classes are needed, perhaps the Protector IPV class and the Protector OPV class. Then the article titles would need to be renamed appropriately.

It's a mess. It seems a problem which should be decided by the Navy? See also Talk:Royal New Zealand Navy Inshore Patrol Vessel - Geronimo20 04:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The IPV's are "Lake Class" and The OPV's are "Protector Class" also HMNZS CANTERBURY is a "Protector-class amphibious and military sealift vessel" as per the RNZN Website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2406:5A00:D8C4:6800:2990:833F:3486:77B4 (talk) 11:12, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:44, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
