Talk:SMS Novara (1850)

Major Bugs
At first reading, I see two of them:
 * 1) There was no Austro-Hungarian Navy (K.u.K.) before Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. At the time the ship made its famous voyage, it belonged to k.k. Navy of the Habsburg Empire.
 * 2) Novara was completely rebuilt in 1861-1862 and was propeller-driven frigate from then on, and by far huger (~50m => ~60m). She hadn't even the same Figurehead (object)! In fact, so-called "renewal work" had just been a trick to get the emperor's OK on the project -- he was hardly interested in his navy, was short of money, and would not have agreed in building a new ship. Research for the latest book, David G. L. Weiss, Gerd Schilddorfer: Novara – Österreichs Traum von der Weltmacht. Amalthea, Wien 2010, ISBN 978-3-85002-705-2 (German). seems to prove that just about two ribs (Boat building) seem to have been used for the new hull ;)

I recently edited de:SMS Novara (1850) on those facts, but at this thime feel unable to improve enWP. Maybe some native speaker with ~Babel_2 German might care? --[w.] 09:38, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, I did my best to fill the ship info form, but did not really come clear.

Note that the flag I use is correct: the funny thing is that a well-armed frigate was declared to be neutral, which was even accepted by France with whom Austria was in war, at that time. --[w.] 10:17, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

On the two quite different versions of the ship see File:SMS Novara versions 1861 vs 1862 comparison.jpg, or COM. Best, [w.] 09:55, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
