How was City of Paris able to generate 1500 more HP? edit

If City of New York and City of Paris had the same engines, why was Paris able to generate an additional 1500 HP? --Badger151 (talk) 20:14, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

USS Yale edit

This article should be combined with that on the USS Yale (1888). A redirect would be enough to direct anyone looking for the USS Yale to this article. Acad Ronin (talk) 14:31, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I added the merge-proposal template to both pages, and created a new section below to discuss it. TypoBoy (talk) 22:28, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Merging this ship's two pages edit

USS Yale (1888) and SS City of Paris (1888) each have Wikipedia articles, despite the fact that they're the same ship. Each article tells the ship's whole history, with some parts covered better in one and some in the other. This is silly. The ship should have one article. Its alternate names can be redirects.TypoBoy (talk) 22:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Support merge Separate articles are called for when the combined content would make a single article unwieldy. This is not the case here. It's the same ship, and neither article is very long. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:30, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. I prefer to see a vessel's whole history combined when that is reasonable, as it is in this case. Acad Ronin (talk) 23:32, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
