HMAS Australia
I've just taken the liberty of moving HMAS Australia from the UK section to a separate Australian section. My reason for doing this is to highlight that there is a very extensive Australian literature on this ship (which was always a unit of the Royal Australian Navy under the ultimate control of the Australian Government, even when she was operating with the Grand Fleet), and relying on the references used for British ships wouldn't really be sufficient. No nationalist POV-pushing was intended! Nick-D (talk) 10:29, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've got no problems with the move. Now, go get Australia to FA. ;-) — Ed   (Talk  •  Contribs)  17:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Chinese Battleships

 * Pre-dreadnought battleship or Ironclad warship, that is the question, opinions please ... Chinese turret ship Dingyuan and Chinese turret ship Zhenyuan. -MBK004 04:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * ...I'd say no. Pre-dreadnought battleship says "Pre-dreadnought battleship is the general term for all of the types of sea going battleships built between the mid-1890s and 1905." (emphasis mine) — Ed   (Talk  •  Contribs)  04:54, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd also say no; if we started including turret ships, then we'd have to include HMS Captain (1869) and a host of others. Parsecboy (talk) 12:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * However, I just realized we're missing Spain. Here's a question: do we include Spanish battleship Pelayo? Parsecboy (talk) 12:48, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Theres the greek Hydra class battleship of predreadnaughts, i dont believe those were turret ships.XavierGreen (talk) 19:43, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
