This redirection makes a hash of two distinct concepts; naval warfare in the general sense, which as a concept should be "timeless" and draw upon multiple periods to mention ramming, guns, boarding, etc, while naval history is more of the narrative. Another way to put it is that one is a "how to do it", and the other is a "how was it done". Stan 19:30, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I would think it is comparable to siege warfare, nuclear warfare, chemical warfare, biological warfare, and guerrilla warfare all of which have the history and modern elements handled in the same article. - SimonP 19:44, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

Good point, although those are rather smaller in scope. There's plenty of "how to" material for a non-history naval warfare article, it's just scattered all over the place right now, very disorganized (too bad I have a day job :-) ). Stan 21:02, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Yamato

    Since when was she 72000 tons?  Is this full load, maximum overload, or what?  Her standard displacement was 64000.
