Talk:Reşadiye-class battleship

Assessment
To tell the truth I don't think that this article meets criteria 2. It says almost nothing about its activities during the war other than Jutland. Furthermore it's very weakly sourced, nothing from Parkes or Burt.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:39, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have either, and my very helpful Garzke and Duilan just laugh and tell about Jutland along with two refits during the war. Their one of two refs I have on it, the othr being hore. Buggie111 (talk) 20:42, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've nipped the last info from Conways. PLease comment. Buggie111 (talk) 21:05, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Possible merger
Given only the HMS Erin was ever completed, does it make sense to have this as a separate article from the HMS Erin page? 22 Jan 2016. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.95.126.175 (talk) 14:27, 22 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, for two reasons. The first, cancelled ship classes routinely have articles, and second, much of the context for the ordering of these two ships (and particularly Fatih Sultan Mehmed) is beyond the scope of the HMS Erin article. Parsecboy (talk) 14:39, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Beam given is inaccurate
The beam given in feet is 28'10" or 8.79m, which is clearly incorrect for a ship that is 160m long.

The article states that the ship was wider in the beam than Iron Duke whose beam is given as 90' or 27.4m. My guess is that Erin's beam measurement was actually not 28'10" but 28.1m, which would make the statement re Iron Duke accurate, and would make more sense.

I do not however have a cite to any article that says her beam was 28.x metres. Does anyone have a source to correct this? Tirailleur (talk) 16:07, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Her beam was 27.9 meters, according to Conways.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:26, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I can check L&G later today - I’d assume I just fat-fingered it. Parsecboy (talk) 18:27, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * L&G has the same figure. It looks like the 27.4m figure was for a variant for Fatih, per Conway’s. Parsecboy (talk) 22:39, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Quick work - well done all.Tirailleur (talk) 11:38, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
