Talk:USS Nanshan

Is this the group of mountains this ship was named after : Nanshan (mountain) ?
The following are quoted from the article:

In Chinese, "Nanshan" means "south mountain" and refers to a small group of mountains in Guangdong Province. The ship retained her former name in naval service.

purchased at Hong Kong on 6 April 1898 from Frank Smythe - I created the article for the mountains some time ago, and I came across this article just now. It seems that the group of mountains fits the descriptions given in the article. From what I know the name Nanshan is not specifically for these two mountains only, a number of other mountains in other places of China bear the same name. However, if you are do a little bit of searching, you'll find that 1. they are a small group of mountains (only 2 of them) 2.they are located right next to Hong Kong across a bay (about 3 kilometers between the nearest points of the two) 3. Yes they are located in Guangdong Province. Hence I personally consider these are the mountains the ship was named after, but I have yet to find sources for this. I am just interested to know really. Can anyone help? Wishva de Silva (talk) 06:24, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
