Draft:Theben

Is it possible to take a look at Draft:Theben for me? Came across it through WP:AfC but figured someone here could narrow down notability much quicker than I can. You can ping me here or on the draft page if necessary. Cheers! CNMall41 (talk) 23:20, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

CNMall41 - I think that there will be some useful content from her time in the South American trade. For example, when the British Government contracted in 1880 with Kosmos to provide the first steam mail service to the Falklands, Theben was a mainstay, also carrying passengers (including the Governor). There is a useful bibliography on Kosmos in the deWP article on Kosmos, including an English book on the Falkland contract, which I can access. - Davidships (talk) 02:07, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

@Davidships:, Thanks. I will approve it to the mainspace and tag it with your project tags so you can access further. Thanks for the help. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:19, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

CNMall41 The headline picture at wrecksite might be by John Henry Mohrmann. I have a better copy, but no provenance. There's insufficient source info to enable uploading into commons. Do you have any backup knowledge of this painting? -Broichmore (talk) 13:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been absent. I suppose that your better copy is this or that. The first is the site of a private museum at Terschelling (it would seem most unlikely that they would possess the actual painting, but the other is a serious book, and quite likely to give credits for the image, which is used on the front cover (and may well appear inside also). It might also appear in this more recent one. Davidships (talk) 22:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

The museum has confirmed to me that the painting came from the aforementioned book by Reinhart Schmelzkopf (1938–2020), a Cuxhaven shipping historian. Can anyone access this book to identify the artist, etc. -Broichmore (talk) 07:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:USS Arizona#Requested move 13 April 2024

Your input is requested at the above discussion. Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 03:06, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

This proposal is gaining traction, it's a radical change affecting 200 or so disambiguation pages that we already have. Are they all to be renamed. If the system is not broken why are we going to fix it. -Broichmore (talk) 07:22, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

That would only be true if every ship index had a clear primary topic; almost none of them do. As per my comment in favor of the move proposal, List of ships named USS Monitor has existed in that location (or the older USS Monitor (disambiguation)) since 2004. This is not a new idea, nor will it cause anything other than the titles of these two pages to change. Parsecboy (talk) 09:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Enterprise

Ship class in Vietnam war , Enterprise was its own class ,Enterprise class carrier 2600:1002:B155:C040:5C48:E5FD:6CCD:D7B9 (talk) 16:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

We already record its class in USS Enterprise (CVN-65). What is the issue or problem you wanted to tell us? From Hill To Shore (talk) 20:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Gas turbines in 1943?

Were the Japanese using gas turbines on warships in 1943? I suspect not but there's no source and I'm not sure what to do here. Please comment at Talk:Type D escort ship#Turbine engines. GA-RT-22 (talk) 07:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Steam turbines, not gas.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:06, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

There's a further problem in that Turbine engine redirects to Gas Turbine resulting in ships like Japanese cruiser Mogami (1908) linking there erroneously Lyndaship (talk) 08:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
