[edit] Fork?

Given that this page is specifically HMS Sheffield (F96), wouldn't it be sensible to separate it from the Admiralte Williams and have a picture of HMS Sheffield on this page? There are only 4 years of 14 year service covered so far on this ship, wouldn't it be nice to give the Chilean version a fresh start? Steel city ady 16:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

As per WP:NC-SHIP and WP:SS, we typically only fork articles once they reach sufficient size. --Kralizec! (talk) 06:24, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

My concern is we are duplicating and confusing items by having them share the page, e.g. the helicopter carried as Sheffield differs from the type now carried as Williams. Other ships have been forked for this reason, surely this warrants a fork for the same reason? Steel city ady (talk) 17:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
