Spelling

[edit]

I made some spelling corrections. Also, I inadvertently made all British spellings American, if anyone has a good reason to change them back, I'm fine with it. Bassgoonist 23:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I (author of the article) live in New Zealand (British spelling) so normally I would ask for the British spelling to be kept. However, I am also heavily influenced by American usage (much of my past English training and use), so I guess my articles are often a mix of both, without me even realizing it - and therefore can't really be sure I'd use a consistent style even if I tried. Therefore, no objection. MadMaxDog 02:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which ton(ne)

[edit]

Which ton(ne) are e talking about? long tons, short ton or tonnes? Peter Horn User talk 20:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reference just says tons. So the answer is - we don't know. Unless you find some other reference which clarifies it... Ingolfson (talk) 06:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The German version of the article calls them tonne and the French version calls them tonnes which would stronly idicate metric tons (t). Which reference do you refer to? Context and origen would point the way. Peter Horn User talk 02:55, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merchant Submarines

[edit]

Both the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army commissioned quite a number of Submarine Transports during World War Two. According to Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships, these include the D1 Class (12 I Boats), D2 (1 completed, 1 uncompleted by the end of the war; both 'I' Boats), the SS Class (12 HA Boats), all for the Japanese Navy, and both the Yu 1 (12 boats) and Yu 1001 (14 boats) Classes for the Japanese Army. All of these were built to supply beleaguered island garrisons during the war, and none of them carried torpedo tubes. These boats, and the several hundred additional boats which were planned by both the Japanese Army and Navy but which never saw construction should be added to the Merchant Submarine Entry.

Dates?

[edit]

Article says "A third journey, planned for January 1917, was aborted after the US entered the war against Germany. " Didn't the US not declare war on the triple alliance until April 1917? Or should this say something like "after the publication of the Zimmerman telegram" or something like that?
