Ship's name in the Hellenic Navy

edit

The ship's name is given as HNS Inouse on some websites, for example, the NavSource Online website[1]. However, the Hellenic Navy website[2] and others write it as Oinoussai. It presumably had a name made up of Greek letters, so either phonetic spelling is valid. However I have changed the name in the article to Oinoussai, with a note in the infobox that it is sometimes written Inouse on the grounds that it was the Hellenic Navy's ship, so their opinion of the English spelling is the more definitive one. Also Oinoussai seems to be an alternative name for Oinousses (e.g. [3]), whilst there is no Greek island or archipelago spellt anything like Inhouse. The other Greek Terrebonne Parish-class LST (the former USS Whitfield County) was named after the island of Kos. Jll (talk) 23:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
