The necessary information for the infobox is on the individual ship articles. -MBK₀₀₄ 18:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flight Deck[edit]

Catapult not installed before "end of the war". Do you mean "start of the war"? Djmaschek (talk) 23:53, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, but thanks for catching that. I'll clarify it in the text.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:14, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Caps misunderstanding[edit]

There seems to be a misunderstanding on Sturmvogel 66's side. He's capitalizing "8 Water-tube boilers" and "4 Shafts", because they're not the "first words".

I'd like to see the guideline or style guide that prescribes that.

Additionally, he does not apply that consistently in the article. For instance, "1600 officers and crewmen" seems to be ok.
