[edit] Changing the title

New Zealand has two new classes of patrol vessels, inshore ones and offshore ones. The article for the offshore patrol class is titled: "Protector class OPV", which seems reasonable. For consistency I suggest we rename this article "Protector class IPV" - Geronimo20 09:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Either that or change the other one to Royal New Zealand Navy Offshore Patrol Vessel. Certainly there should be consistency either way.DerbyCountyinNZ 02:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Er, I just saw this when updating the article assessment. I already changed the name to Protector class IPV as per WP:NC-SHIP. Specifically, we only add a ship's nationality to the class article's title when it is necessary to disambiguate it from other nation's ship classes of the same name. --Kralizec!

[edit] In operation

I have tried to get it right as far as I see it from the Navy's page and the delivers dates from other sources. Seems only one is active, with the others at various stages from seat trial to still being built. Ingolfson (talk) 10:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
