French ship names

[edit]

See Noms de véhicules et de navires for the standards. Rama 08:56, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That is for using ship names in French. Not a standard for translation and use in English text.

Following standard set by William Cormack in his authoritative work Revolution and Political Conflict in the French Navy 1789-1794

This is particularly useful to differentiate from the British ships that sometimes carried the same name.

Since this is likely to be a question of general interest, I have taken the liberty to bring the question to the dedicated Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships). I was under the impression that the convention for French ships was not to use the article if not part of the name itself, in coherence with the article names themselves, but since there is no explicit policy about this, it might be wise to ask for external opinion. Thank you for bringing the question. Rama 06:42, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
