List of ships built[edit]

Clearly all 1350+ vessels are not going to be listed. But the present one seems to have random un-linked names with no explanation. Would it be better to limit it to:

notable vessels with their own articles
other vessels which can be linked to specific articles (eg naval ship classes)
known surviving vessels (which would require a specific citation)

or any combination of these? Davidships (talk) 10:41, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any comments? Davidships (talk) 02:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidships: I'd be inclined to cull all vessels without an article. Mjroots (talk) 15:35, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but leave in known surviving vessels; and those we have images for in Commons, which I have updated. Broichmore (talk) 11:47, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both. I'm preparing something off-line and will see how it looks. Davidships (talk) 13:41, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
