Talk:Royal Malaysian Navy

Kasturi Class
I'm not very much into ships, but why are the Kasturi Class -Corvettes are in the Frigate and not the Corvette Category? --134.76.63.1 21:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Kapal DiRaja

 * Kapal DiRaja: Would a Malay-speaker help out ? Does not this mean "Royal Ship" as opposed to "His Majesty's Ship "? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.248.225.148 (talk • contribs)
 * the literal translation of Kapal DiRaja is as you put it Royal Ship, however a purposive interpretation is His Majesty's Ship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.47.167.2 (talk • contribs)

HMMS or KD?
The RMN's ships now carried the prefix Her Majesty's Malayan Ship (HMMS).


 * As far as I know the prefix is KD. Why need to tanslate it to HMMS? 218.111.3.54 18:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that was before independence, seems the article did not emphasised on the KD (Kapal Di-Raja) term used after independence (with the Royal usage with respect to the Malaysian King not the British Monarch). But it is there somewhere in the article, have to rearrange it clearly I guess.

 * Yes, I realize about that, but I think the RMN written there refer to Royal Malayan Navy, (back at that time Malaya was still under British...and the 'Royal' refer to the Queen, not the the Malaysian King.

Possible source for expasion
The fourth chapter of Tiger Territory, by Ian Pfennigwerth, focuses on the creation and early years of the RMN. It may be of use to regular contributors to this article. -- saberwyn 01:48, 28 April 2009 (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.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Can someone please include the submarine rescue vessel MV Mega Bakti in the list of RMN assets? I'm afraid if I try it, I'll mess up the formatting. Thanks! Link here : http://www.keppelom.com/en/content.aspx?sid=2580

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:05, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Royal Malaysian Navy
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Royal Malaysian Navy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "stats": From Kota Kinabalu:  From 2013 Lahad Datu standoff:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:35, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Listing of the Kasturi-class as frigates
Similar to the IP-user comment on top of this talk page from back in 2007, I found that all reliable sources, including Jane's Fighting Ships, list the Kasturi-class ships as corvettes, not as frigates. Therefore I change the information in this article according to those sources. DavidDCM (talk) 15:17, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Rank Insignia Inaccuracy
There are possible inaccuracies in the rank insignia of the ratings (OR-1 to OR-7). I noticed they were replaced by "new" rank insignia on 28 August 2019 that have chevrons, however I believe that there may have been a misunderstanding.

The chevrons in the navy (in accordance with Commonwealth navies traditions) stand for years of service as opposed to an indication of rank. For example, one chevron indicates 5 years of service and so on. Both insignia the so-called "new" and "old" are correct, however, the insignia with the chevrons is worn on the left sleeve while the one with the star or anchor is worn on the right sleeve. Usually, the insignia worn on the right sleeve is used to denote the role of the sailor and the rank. As far as I am aware, this has always been the case and there has been no change of rank insignia in the Royal Malaysian Navy as of the 26th of September, 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yiheng16 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
