Talk:SS Athenia (1903)

Name of this article
Please, what is the convention for naming an article on a ship?

Example MV Britannia (2015) Laid down:	15 May 2013 Launched:	14 February 2014 Christened:	10 March 2015 by Queen Elizabeth II Completed:	26 February 2015 Maiden voyage: 14 March 2015

Example HMS Vanguard (1909) Laid down:	2 April 1908 Launched:	22 February 1909 Commissioned:	1 March 1910

In the absence of prior experience; I chose to name it 1904 because that’s what theshipslist.com does.

SS Athenia (1903) Launched:	20 October 1903 Maiden voyage:	21 May 1904

There are few items on this vessel on the WWW, Where a date is given its 1904. A search for Athenia 1903 gives even fewer pickings...

I feel it important to get this right now.

What are the guidelines to follow here? Launch, Maiden voyage? --BeckenhamBear (talk) 08:38, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Long standing policy is to disambiguate by year of launch; see WP:SHIPDAB. Those articles that don't follow that convention are likely incorrect. Brad (talk) 13:18, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Link problem
The links for GS SM U-53 seem to be a problem there is an article on the project already for SM U-53. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 09:53, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
