Talk:SMS Kaiser Karl der Grosse

Past tense in footnote about ship name
In German, the ship's name was rendered with an eszett, as Kaiser Karl der Große. Why the was ? German orthography hasn’t changed on this, any contemporary text mentioning the ship’s name would still spell it with a „ß“. —Galaktos (talk) 00:28, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Agree. Also, there's no need to render the name of the ship in french-fried English (Charlemagne is French; literal English would be "Charles the Great"), as the ship was never known by an English name, even to the Brits. Sca (talk) 13:50, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
