Tapper-class patrol boatTapper-class patrol craft – The Swedish navy does not use the term Patrullbåt for theses vessels. These are smaller, slower and lighter armed. --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 03:39, 21 September 2013 (UTC) Esquilo (talk) 07:49, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment these are boats though, they're not hovercraft or ekranoplans or submarines. A RHIB is a boat, as is a rowboat, and these Tappers are larger than the US Army's brown water navy patrol boats (swift boats) from Vietnam. A redirect from the suggested title should be created. -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 05:00, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose "craft" muddies the waters as to what kind of craft these are, as they could be blimps or patrol helicopters. -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 05:00, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per IP. Per WP:UE, we're not bound to Swedish-language usage. Absent evidence that these are more commonly referred to as "patrol craft" in English, there's no reason to—ahem—muddy the waters. --BDD (talk) 21:01, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is the reason that the 2014 invasion of Ukraine which ended in the annexation of the Donbass and the Crimea, is eufemistically called an 'intervention'? JohBeers (talk) 18:25, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
