Chung Shan v Sun Yat Sen

It's not clear that the Chung Shan and the Sun Yat Sen referred to in the first paragraph were the same boat. There's also another picture of a Chinese warship identified as the Chung Shan (along with its Captain)in Wikimedia commons. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gunboat_Chung-shan_and_Sah_Shih-chun.jpg Gaintes (talk) 01:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was a USS Sun Yat-sen but there are some less careful sources that inexplicably fully translate the name Zhongshan as SS Sun Yat-sen. —

Sources for future article expansion

Also a reference the Yung Feng in the memoirs of Chang's second wife: http://books.google.com/books?id=IDbvAzXCBH8C&pg=PA109&lpg=PA109&dq=yung+feng+warship&source=bl&ots=iwA-oQuLIF&sig=ZHN4ljkj62KB05pXf9HXc-dGRNo&hl=en&ei=XnAtS7_nGYz9nAeQoMX3CA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBIQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=yung%20feng%20warship&f=false Gaintes (talk) 01:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed,

Chiang Kai-Shek's Secret Past: The Memoir of His Second Wife, Ch'en Chieh-Ju. Pps. 109-110

and

Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1922–1946, P.412

may both reference this ship, but they shouldn't be added to the bibliography until they're actually being used to verify the article. —
