Talk:British E class submarine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't see how it can be correct to refer to these vessels as HMS/HMAS_____, as in the links in the article. The E/AE- numbers are pennant/serial numbers. I have just moved the Australian ones to "Australian submarine AE1" and "Australian submarine AE1".Grant65 (Talk) 10:51, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
- The naming convention is at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) and has been discussed on the talk page. "H.M. Submarine" was not an uncommon form, see the citation for Martin Eric Nasmith and the caption for Commons:Image:HMS E11 crew photo.jpg. The Australian War Memorial uses HMAS AE2. The AE1 and AE2 articles must be getting dizzy by now, they've been moved back and forth that many times. Geoff/Gsl 11:15, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
