WP:MILHIST Assessment

This article could benefit from a picture, if possible, and an infobox. Also, general clean-up, if no expansion is possible. LordAmeth 18:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that in the Aichi M6A Seiran article, the aircraft name is translated as "Clear Sky Storm", while here it's written "Mountain Haze" - might be worth dealing with this discrepancy (I know nothing about the subject, just noting the inconsistency).

Getting the story straight

Two extracts are shown below:

"After several attempts to launch" appears in the 'Sevice history', (para 1), section. As the boat was already in commission, I would say that the "attempts to launch" was something to do with her Panama canal mission, rather than her first time into the water.

In the 'Rediscovery' section, "The I-401 lies about 820 meters off the coast of Barbers Point." I think that this sentence should read: "The I-401 lies in about 820 meters of water off Barbers Point." (my emphasis)

Both excerpts would not take very much effort to fix, but I am reluctant to do so, as it might not be what was intended and besides, I do not have the sources. Are there any better equipped editors out there?

Redundant article

This article appears to be redundant to I-400-class submarine, as well as less accurate and complete. This probably should be deleted and redirected to that article. Bratling (talk) 13:41, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to disagree. One article is on the submarine class, the other is on the submarine. Compare Japanese battleship Yamato to Yamato-class battleship. All articles can be gradually expanded over time, and there is no rush if certain pages are incomplete. --benlisquare_T•C•E 13:07, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That may be so in theory, but it is noteworthy that, of the three completed submarines, only I-401 and I-402 with their necessarily meagre individual histories, have their own articles whereas Japanese submarine I-400, which has the most individual history, doesn't even exist - just a circular redirect from the table in the Class article. It would be to the benefit of readers if the whole story were in one place, at least until that article became too large (and should avoid the contradictory information currently present).

There doesn't seem to be much interest in these individual articles from editors - even the two questions raised by User:RASAM over two years ago remain unanswered. Davidships (talk) 21:46, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
