I question the importance and usefulness of a 38kb list of ships. The US ones at least have pretty obvious names anyway. I think about 14 of the first section of 1070 links are blue at present. If anyone is interested in these vessels, I find it unlikely that they will search for this list specifically, as they will probably know the number of the vessel they are looking for. As such I am posting this on AfD, whilst myself abstaining (I am not an expert on list policies etc. and I'd rather let more experienced persons than myself decide.) Dan 20:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• oppose Mike McGregor (Can) 23:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC), i vote keep it. esp since most of these ships have detailed articles..

I was going to ask why the list is so short, but I see from the deletion page that somebody just cut all the red links. That seems unwise--eventually they'll have articles. —wwoods 02:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
