Kongo or Kongou

[edit]

Should the name of the class be Kongou or Kongo ? Jane's has Kongou. Megapixie 10:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have changed the other classes accordingly. So if it's "Kongo" you should change the others back. If it's "Kongou" you need to change the others. Personally I would change the others back, as "Kongo" is what people generally refer to them as. Also "Kongo" is what was used for WWII-era ships. I think it's best to go back to the old system for the others - if you don't mind doing that. John Smith's 13:59, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
MMmmmm tricky. "Kongo class destroyer" gets 20,000 ghits where as "Kongou class destroyer" only gets about 100. "Yuushio class submarine" gets 50 hits, where as "Yushio class submarine" gets 250. I have it on reasonably good authority that Kongou is the more correct Romanji, and what Jane's refers to the class as - but Kongo appears to be the name that is more widely in use. How about about:
The Kongo class (こんごう; Kongou) of guided missle... (article name = Kongo, redirect from Kongou)
The Yushio (ゆうしお; Yuushio) is a Japanese diesel-electric submarine... (article name = Yushio, redirect from Yuushio)

That's fine. But have the shorter versions as the article title. The correct romaji next to the hiragana is adequate. John Smith's 13:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Question

[edit]

Because of being built to merchant standards rather than military, the Kongō-class ships' internal arrangement is quite different from that of the Arleigh Burke-class ships on which their design is based.

what the hell does "merchant Standards" mean? --Paladin 17:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's false and probably a misinterpretation of a certain change in design. Unlike US Navy's Aegis system equipped ships, Kongo-class ships are expected to serve as a flagship and command a squadron on its own. So these ships have rooms for holding a briefing and carrying extra staffs on board. They are built with military specifications almost exactly the same with US military specs. I'll fix it. --Revth (talk) 08:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
