Talk:SMS Comet (1860)

Odd spelling
G'day Parsecboy. This is an odd spelling of Comet in German, which would usually be Komet as far as I can tell (with my crap German). Not a real issue, just thought I'd mention it in case there is a split with the spelling in refs. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It has to do with language reforms in the 20s - after World War I, Germans wanted things to look less "French" so lots of "C"s became "K"s - Cöln became Köln, Coblenz became Koblenz, etc. Parsecboy 10:56, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
