[edit] Tables for ships?

I was wondering if anyone had any objections to organizing the list of ships in the fleet into a table similar to the aircraft in the interest of clarity and saving space? Example below. -Loren 07:03, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar

"Aircraft" not "aircrafts", please. John Smith's (talk) 10:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Upper or lower case and general style

In the tables that list the various aircraft, missiles, etc and anon-IP editor has changed upper case descriptions to lower case ones. For example "maritime patrol aircraft" instead of "Maritime patrol aircraft". I personally prefer upper case, so unless anyone has strong objections I will change them over when I have the time. Otherwise please leave your views here.

Furthermore I agree with Loren's proposal above. I don't like the colour of the current table, nor the fact it's separated. I'll look into carrying out the work when possible. John Smith's (talk) 20:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Further to there being no objections, I have changed the table colour to a nice "naval grey" which is more in keeping with the article's theme (the blue-green was not nice). I have also merged destroyers and frigates together into "surface combatants", rather than have a table for one class of ship.

On the matter of aircraft in service, I don't think it would be appropriate using a citation from four years ago. John Smith's (talk) 16:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I've also made a few edits to try to get the pictures to line up properly and remove clashes between the "edit" links and the pictures - apologies for not getting it on the first edit. John Smith's (talk) 16:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

One last thing. I changed the patrol ship entry to "Fast Attack Missile Craft", as they all carry anti-ship missiles so there's no point using the more generic "patrol" type. John Smith's (talk) 16:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] under construction

I disagree with removing that information. Saying when something will be completed is not the same as saying its currently under construction. So I will revert its omission to restore that piece of information.Giovanni33 (talk) 23:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

In that case it's also misleading to say 30 are under construction, as they're not. I am changing the entry accordingly. John Smith's (talk) 00:08, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
