Talk:Protector class OPV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Irish ships
I'm unsure if the two Irish ships I added to 'see also' are the ones the new OPV will be based on, but they are the newest and do look like the NZ ship. Joffeloff 15:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Class names and article titles
New Zealand has two new classes of patrol vessels: inshore ones and offshore ones. The Navy uses the umbrella term "Protector" when referring to these classes. I'm not sure whether the Navy intends Protector to be the class name for these ships. If so then two classes are needed, perhaps the Protector IPV class and the Protector OPV class. Then the article titles would need to be renamed appropriately.
It's a mess. It seems a problem which should be decided by the Navy? See also Talk:Royal New Zealand Navy Inshore Patrol Vessel - Geronimo20 04:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
