Talk:Training ship

Training ship
I have changed the name of this article from School ship to Training ship. The latter seems to be preferred common usage, for example Google returns 258,000 hits for Training ship but only 39,000 hits for School ship. --Geronimo20 (talk) 00:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Trek
This is decidedly nerdy but... On what basis is anyone claiming USS Republic to be a Starfleet training vessel? It is perfectly possible for Ensign Kirk to be an officer in training on an ordinary ship of the line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.30.232.1 (talk) 12:11, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

it should perhaps contain information on ships that functions as floating schools
in norway for example there is ships that serve as schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.59.120 (talk) 14:14, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

HMS Cornwall and HMS Wellesley
In the Royal Navy sub-list, the entry Cornwall is wikilinked to the article "HMS Wellesley (1815)" and then further down, the entry Wellesley is wikilinked to the article "HMS Cornwall (1812)". Confusing or what? There is a sort of logic intended, as the ships swapped names in the 1860s, but it's difficult to comprehend which one is truly which, until one re-reads each of the two linked articles several times... There has to be a better (clearer) way to indicate upfront what ship you're about to be taken to, ie 'Ship A (later renamed B)' and 'Ship B (later renamed A)' etc. So I'll try to clarify the list-references tomorrow, although it's not an easy task - in fact it's quite difficult to keep the whole list homogenous, as some of the ships listed became TS's, some remained HMS ships (renamed), and one or two are now shore-based schools that don't have a ship anymore (eg. HMS President has several wiki articles, one of which is a shore frigate!). Pete Hobbs (talk) 04:19, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
