Talk:Kongō-class destroyer

Kongo or Kongou

Should the name of the class be Kongou or Kongo ? Jane's has Kongou. Megapixie 10:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

You have changed the other classes accordingly. So if it's "Kongo" you should change the others back. If it's "Kongou" you need to change the others. Personally I would change the others back, as "Kongo" is what people generally refer to them as. Also "Kongo" is what was used for WWII-era ships. I think it's best to go back to the old system for the others - if you don't mind doing that. John Smith's 13:59, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

MMmmmm tricky. "Kongo class destroyer" gets 20,000 ghits where as "Kongou class destroyer" only gets about 100. "Yuushio class submarine" gets 50 hits, where as "Yushio class submarine" gets 250. I have it on reasonably good authority that Kongou is the more correct Romanji, and what Jane's refers to the class as - but Kongo appears to be the name that is more widely in use. How about about:

The Kongo class (こんごう; Kongou) of guided missle... (article name = Kongo, redirect from Kongou)

The Yushio (ゆうしお; Yuushio) is a Japanese diesel-electric submarine... (article name = Yushio, redirect from Yuushio)

That's fine. But have the shorter versions as the article title. The correct romaji next to the hiragana is adequate. John Smith's 13:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Question

Because of being built to merchant standards rather than military, the Kongō-class ships' internal arrangement is quite different from that of the Arleigh Burke-class ships on which their design is based.

what the hell does "merchant Standards" mean? --Paladin 17:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

That's false and probably a misinterpretation of a certain change in design. Unlike US Navy's Aegis system equipped ships, Kongo-class ships are expected to serve as a flagship and command a squadron on its own. So these ships have rooms for holding a briefing and carrying extra staffs on board. They are built with military specifications almost exactly the same with US military specs. I'll fix it. --Revth (talk) 08:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
