Talk:HMAS Waller

Main Article

Added a table of contents, and I seperated the name info from the intro, and added to it slightly more, i also put in the 'Noteable Achievements' which could be expanded on, ill try to expand on it later (finding detailed info about achievements by subs seems to be pretty hard, they don't release much detailed info), also i added 'External Links' and am in the process of looking for a news article URL that mentions the facts in the 'notable achievements' section (all news sites that had anything have the story as expired now)--Nirvana- 03:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Side Bar

I added the side bar that im adding to all the Collins Class sub articles, info still needs to be verified--Nirvana- 03:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Image

Not sure if this image is too long, it was very difficult to find a good image of HMAS Waller, but if anyone has any good ones that are more similar in size to the ones on HMAS Rankin/Sheean/Dechaineux pages, it might look better--Nirvana- 03:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Conflicting info on Waller target

This article says Waller fired a Mark 48 torpedo at the "decommissioned US destroyer the USS David R. Ray (DD-971), becoming the first submarine to successfully fire the MK 48 Mod 7 Common Broadband Advanced Sonar System (CBASS) variant of this torpedo." WIKIPEDIA'S entry for the David R. Ray, however, says it was sunk by fire from eight U.S. and Japanese ships, plus three aircraft. A website for the Lake Erie Ohana (http://www.lke-ohana.org/lke/2008/07/lake-erie-havin.html) confirms the latter claim. Does anyone know for sure the name of the ship sunk by Waller and CBASS?

"7200 SHP" ?

Maybe I'm missing something? Three diesel engines making 1400 kw each equals 4,200,000 Watts. One hosepower is about 746 watts so it would have at most 5630 shp if we don't even mention frictional losses. So where does the shaft pick up this 28% increase in power? Is my thinking wrong or it there an error? Thanks- 76.171.125.202 (talk) 15:07, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

The three 1,400 kW motors are not directly connected to the propulsion system. Their only purpose is to generate electricity, which is then stored in batteries. When underwater, the electricity is drawn from these batteries and directed to the electric motor. See the Propulsion section of the Submarine article for more info. -- saberwyn 01:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
