Talk:Ships preserved in museums

merging out of existence
That there is no clear distinction between museum ships and ships preserved in museums, was partially discussed at Talk:List of museum ships. Just now, I checked all entries here and found numerous ones were already in one of: The remainder I merged into List of museum ships. The disposition of all items is as follows:
 * List of museum ships

 * List of submarine museums

disposition of this list-article
