Navy ship Palestine

Hello everybody. At one time, Palestinian security forces used the former fishing trawler Chandalahe for military purposes; Israel damaged it in 2002 and since then it has been abandoned off the coast of Gaza. I wanted to know what his current fate is? Vyacheslav84 (talk) 23:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vyacheslav84 Does it even have a Wikipedia page? Alexysun (talk) 23:21, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexysun No. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 05:14, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is Type 001, Type 002, Type 003, and so on in terms of the Chinese aircraft carriers really it's own class?

Is Type 001, Type 002, Type 003 in terms of the Chinese aircraft carriers really a "class" of ships if they only have one ship per Type 001, Type 002, Type 003, and so on? Seems to me that it seems to be just a name for the ship before they choose an official name, because it's only one ship. There are not two Type 001s etc. Does my question make sense. Alexysun (talk) 23:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes your question does make sense. I would suggest the usual way of doing things; that is for single ship classes to have just one page like Japanese aircraft carrier Sōryū. That being said, Type 003 is not finished yet and could have multiple ships to that design. However for Type 001 and Type 002, the question is pertinent.

Okay got it, so it's good as it is right now. Alexysun (talk) 18:44, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax

I've tagged Draft:USS ambatukummers, which claims to be an article on a Freedom-class littoral combat ship for speedy deletion as a hoax.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:46, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SS Aberdeen (1881)

Would someone be able to rate/re-rate SS Aberdeen (1881), perhaps in the light of [[1]]?

In case it needs declaring, yes I do have an interest in this article. I feel it is important as this is the first ship with a triple expansion engine that was commercially successful, so making steamships commercially competitive with sail on all routes. I think that the article is largely complete as all the notable points about the ship are covered.

Thanks, ThoughtIdRetired _TIR 13:08, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. Kablammo (talk) 17:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the rating from A to B, as A-class articles usually require a formal review process which I don't believe WP:SHIPS embraces anymore. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 17:58, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox needs expansion (port of registry, identification). More detail could be given about the engine, Lloyd's Register is your friend. Mjroots (talk) 05:26, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bayesian

Following yesterday's sinking, a new article has been created on the vessel involved - Bayesian. It needs improvement. Feel free to contribute. Mjroots (talk) 05:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
