Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Quote from the text:
"The Tridente class submarine is wrongly classed in the "diesel-electric" class. Its propulsion is exclusively electric, with electric motors powered by batteries. These batteries may be charged while submerged by "fuel-cells" (inverse electrolysis) for which, this submarine carries a huge supply of liquid oxygen and hydrogen. Also, and solely as a 2nd solution for recharging the batteries, this submarine carries 2 powerful diesel electric generators (1.000 KVA) for use only when surfaced, or at "snorkel" depth"
This entire paragraph is technical nonsense and the writer simply has no grasp of these terms as used in naval language, specifically he does not understand, what the term "diesel-electric submarine" actually means. I suggest reading the page on submarines here on Wikipedia, where the concept is laid out quite well. Furthermore the diesel engine is not "solely a second solution", as it is indeed running the generator driving the scew on this boat for the majority of any deployment AND is the primary source for re-charging its batteries at the same time. It is the AIP, that is a very limited second solution, namely to recharge batteries while staying submerged. The limited nature of this energy source means, an AIP submarine has to move at glacial speeds, reducing it to station-keeping for the most part (around 6 knots max speed). The classification of the Type 214 is a diesel-electric submarine with AIP.
Unless someone can come up with some more meaningful text in its place soon, I would delete the paragraph, as the entire thing does not contribute anything relevant to the page. 101.168.42.147 (talk) 02:04, 4 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
