A fact from Takakazu Kinashi appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 November 2008 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

I don't know why but the authors of this page have left out the definite article ("the") when speaking of submarines. For instance:" Kinashi was given his first command, Ro-59, from 1938-1940. In 1940, he was reassigned to the Submarine Warfare School, but returned to sea six months later as captain of I-3 from July-November, and of Ro-34 from November 1940 to July 1941."
In my opinion it would be better if the definite article was added. It runs then as follows:" Kinashi was given his first command of the Ro-59, from 1938-1940. In 1940, he was reassigned to the Submarine Warfare School, but returned to sea six months later as captain of the I-3 from July-November, and of the Ro-34 from November 1940 to July 1941."
