[edit] Jin class in service?

Ive removed the jin class from the in service list since there is no reference that i can find to it being in service. Especially since it was only last week that it was first spotted afloat i assume it is still undergoing tests and wont be in service for quiet some time.

Operation is estimated to begin by 2010 or earlier[1]. Shawnc 15:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Correction

Someone wrote, "SSBN is not an acronym," in the article but this is incorrect. In fact it IS an acronym and stands for Submersible Ship Ballistic Nuclear, hence SSBN. Even the source cited actually explains this, though admittedly it's scattered throughout the document. I'm removing the incorrect statement. MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 10:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

The item about submarines being the only naval vessels called "boats" is incorrect. Many smaller vessels are also called boats, including a captain's gig, an admiral's barge, various utility boats, tugboats, PT boats, and the YP class of training vessels at the US Naval Academy. When I served aboard a large naval vessel, I was the officer in charge of (i.e. responsible for) "ship's boats" of which this ship had several. Dick Kimball (talk) 13:27, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
